Abstract: 

People consider right to smoke as their fundamental right to live life with leisure. However it is elementary right of all to live in a healthy environment. Yet, the protection of environment is a global issue. Wherefore, Constitution of India is perhaps one of the rare Constitutions of the world which contains specific provisions relating to environmental protection. Besides individual health problems, smoking is an environmental pollutant too.
