This would surely bring a smile to the face of Union Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss.

After the Delhi High Court declared that on-screen smoking was not against the law, a recent survey suggests that an overwhelming majority is actually on the side of the Minister.

The Health Ministry had proposed to display "skull and crossbones" symbol beside the picture, showing disease caused by the ill-effects of tobacco, on the packets of all products. The warning was approved by a parliamentary sub-committee in 2003, and was to have come into effect in early 2006 but was kept in abeyance following opposition from the bidi industry.u00a0
