Bengaluru Authorities Crack Down on Smoking in Public Spaces

The local government in Bengaluru is making sure that restaurants, bars, and hotels create special smoking areas.

This is because a court order says they need to protect people from breathing in smoke.

Over 500 places have been told they must set up enclosed spaces just for smoking if they have many seats or rooms.

They have one week to do this, or their license could be taken away.

This is to help keep people healthy and safe from secondhand smoke.
