This Tamil Nadu law amends the national tobacco control act to specifically ban hookah bars, which are places where people smoke tobacco from communal pipes. It prohibits opening or running these establishments, even in restaurants or eating houses. The legislation defines what constitutes a hookah bar and gives police the authority to seize equipment used in them. Violating these rules is a criminal offense punishable by up to three years in prison and a significant fine, aiming to curb public smoking and health risks associated with hookah use.
