Health20093 sections

The Himachal Pradesh Prohibition of Smoking and Non-Smokers Health Protection (Repeal) Act, 2009 formally repeals the state's 1997 anti-smoking legislation. By rescinding the earlier law, this legislation removes state-level statutory provisions governing public smoking restrictions and anti-smoking enforcement in Himachal Pradesh, aligning state regulation with national framework laws. However, the Act contains a savings clause ensuring that any ongoing legal proceedings, investigations, penalties, or forfeitures initiated under the repealed 1997 law remain valid and enforceable. It applies to the general public, law enforcement, and judicial authorities dealing with past or pending smoking-related offences in the state.
