CHENNAI : It might just be that much more difficult to get your daily dose of cigarettes on May 31. To mark World Tobacco-free Day, the Tamil Nadu Vanigar Sangankalin Peravai has made an appeal to their 2 lakh odd members in Chennai who are involved in the sale of tobacco products, to abstain from doing so on that day.

This is part of several other anti-tobacco initiatives that the traders body has organised in association with the Cancer Institute (WIA).
