Since 15 August 2007, smoking in hospitality facilities, restaurants, bars, clubs, public transport, and all private and public workplaces has been banned. Exemptions to the law are bars with a floor space less than 40 m² and offices only used by a single employee. Separate smoking rooms are allowed in hospitality facilities as long as no food or beverage is served there. The law has caused much controversy and is as of November 2007 not fully enforced. Freetown Christiania is exempt from the ban. The law was set for revision in 2009.

A nationwide ban on smoking at the workplace and in restaurants, hotels, pubs, public transport (buses, trains and metros), airports and railway stations, educational institutions, cafes, theatres and other public places came into effect from 2 October 2008. Smoking in open areas like roads, parks etc. and inside one's home and car is however allowed. Smoking is also permitted in in restaurants, bars and pubs having designated separate smoking areas. Anybody violating this law will be charged with a fine of Rs 200(INR). Advertising of tobacco products had already been prohibited nationwide by an earlier law.

In 2007, Chandigarh became the first city in India to become 'smoke-free'. However despite there being some difficulties and apathy by the authorities the Smoke-Free Chandigarh ban has been a success story. Taking a cue from the Chandigarh's success, cities like Shimla are also now following the Smoke-Free Chandigarh model to become smoke-free. The success of Chandigarh has been widely recognised and the architect of smoke-free Chandigarh Hemant Goswami was also awarded the Global Smoke-Free Partnership Award for the initiative. The state of Kerala also had implemented a more relaxed ban on public smoking earlier though it was never properly followed. However since the nationwide ban, it is being enforced more strictly.
