A proposed government bill to significantly increase excise duty on cigarettes could raise the price of a single cigarette from Rs 18 to Rs 72, aiming to curb sales and encourage quitting. While some smokers welcome the potential price hike as a means to quit, social media reactions are mixed. Some users humorously suggest switching to vaping or note that Delhi's air quality makes the impact negligible. Concerns were also raised about potential increases in counterfeit products and the need for a complete ban on smoking and alcohol.
