The order is applicable to all market places and in an area within a radius of 100 yards of any educational institution.

The order further stated that vendors, stalls and other shopkeepers where tobacco products are sold shall display a notice containing the warning ‘Sale of cigarettes and other tobacco products to a person under the age of 18 years is strictly prohibited and is a punishable offence’.

“Any person who contravenes the provisions of Section 6 shall be guilty of offences under this Act and shall be punishable with the imposition of fines and other prescribed penalties,” the prohibitory order further stated.
