Bare Act

The Himachal Pradesh Juveniles (Prevention of Smoking) Act, 1952

This 1952 Act regulates smoking by minors in public places across Himachal Pradesh. If a police officer identifies a juvenile smoking in public, they may confiscate and destroy that smoking tobacco or any tobacco found in the person's possession. The law establishes special handling for violations through summary trials before third-class magistrates instead of following the standard criminal court process under the 1898 Code of Criminal Procedure, focusing on preventing young people from smoking in public while ensuring swift resolution of violations.
