Pollution Murli S Deora Vs UOI, AIR 2002 SC 40

Hon'ble Supreme Court of India observed as under, “why should a non-smoker be afflicted by various diseases, including lung cancer or of heart, only because he is required to go to public places? Is it not indirectly depriving of his life without any process of law? The answer is obviously — “yes”….
Realising the gravity of the situation and considering the adverse effect of smoking on smokers and passive smokers, we direct and prohibit smoking in public places.”
