Ban to show smoking in Cinema

What a wierd thing!!! Only Indian Censor Board can even imagine this. Look at this for more views. Imagine seeing a murder scene where the villain forgets his cig lighter and it is shown with a blur......what a suspense it wud be :p

Think about our epics..Ramayana is said to tell us what is good and we need to do while Mahabharata shows what needs to be shunned...Why cant the government realize life is always a mix and facilitate people to realize the bad things in movie and shun it rather than create this kind of a unnecessary constraint? Cant the government allow people to think for themselves? If it cant accept that people can perceive good from bad, doesnt it question the very base of democracy?
