This week, City Life goes to India to talk to cancer sufferers and campaigners and look at the effects of the globalization of tobacco addiction.

suhel seth, he should be shamed of saying that he is indian....he says that UK and US have people to take the charge of controling tobbaco consumption.seth is just acting before video.he is just showing his english talent in saying that he is very concern about tobbaco.i do agree that government has to play a major role....but teaching nearby people will also can make a big change

and do you really think tobacco companies would spend millions paying hollywood and bollywood if it didn't work ? Are we going to let the tobacco companies keep targetting our kids ? i think it will decrease in movies when the law suits come out but unfortunately by then the damage will be done to this generation, hopefully it happens before the next generation.

Tobacco companies have learnt from the past as smoking only really took off after tobacco companies started paying producers to get sexy powerful characters to smoke in movies. They remember this as its happend the last couple of yrs in bollywood and look at the rise in smoking amongst young hindi people esp young girls. Same with huge rise in smoking in hollywiid from 80s to 90s making it look cool & sexy again hence rise in smoking among young girls & young women. Best way to promote smoking!
