Talk:Smoking in India

Either expand or else retitle Smoking bans in India

Interesting article, and nice work footnoting, but the article is almost entirely about efforts to limit smoking in India, vice an overall examination of the history, types, etc. of tobacco smoking there. I suggest that either the article be fleshed out to include such, or the title be made more specific. I also submit that the generic "no smoking" image should not be used, as it's not specific to India, but if allowed by Indian copyright law a picture of a "no smoking" sign within India would be very interesting. Maybe a neat-looking multilingual sign, and one that has some interesting information that indicates what laws support the ban, or what state it's in? MatthewVanitas (talk) 22:10, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

better source for link 9

link 9, http://www.china-europe-usa.com/level_4_data/hum/013_4.htm, appears to be broken, so I dug the internet achives and found a link that works https://web.archive.org/web/20080315052911/http://www.china-europe-usa.com/level_4_data/hum/013_4.htm , it appears that the data on that section of the page is incorrect (i.e 70% of males smoke), I just wanted to confirm if I've interpreted the data correctly

Thanks in advance :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by AdityaShankar50 (talk • contribs) 17:31, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
