SRK’s smoking act in IPL annoys anti-smoking lobby

Shahrukh Khan who is a chain smoker cannot keep
away with his habit at the IPL also. His smoking act did not go well with the
anti-smoking lobby that has now banned showing the smoking footage of any
celebrities in television.The National Organization for Tobacco Eradication
(NOTE) said in a statement that its counterpart South African National Council
Against Smoking (NCAS) ensures that smoking footage of no celebrities will be
broadcast.

“We have sent the details to Supersport, who are
the official broadcasters of the IPL and the NCAS is in the process of
soliciting an agreement that they will not show anyone smoking,” NCAS’s convener
Peter Ucko informed NOTE Friday.

It has been decided that if King Khan is again
caught smoking then he will be knocked out of the stadium. The NCAS has decided
to make no smoking announcement through the match and during drinks breaks.
