Ramadoss appeals CM not to smoke
Sunday, 23 March, 2008
In a campaign against smoking, Union Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss has appealed the West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee to stop smoking in public.
"70 per cent of men in West Bengal people take to tobacco, including the chief minister," indicated Ramadoss. And when asked whether the minister had any advice for the CM, he said: "He is a senior person and I am a small individual.' But the minister added: 'As a leader he should set an example for others to follow.'
Though the West Bengal government has put a ban on smoking in public places including the state secretariat, Bhattacharjee continues to smoke in his office and the CM himself has admitted to this.
