The Government of Haryana on August 24, 2023, issued the Haryana Juvenile Smoking Repeal Bill, 2023 to repeal the Haryana Juvenile Smoking Act, 1918.
The following has been stated:
• The repeal by this Act shall not affect any other enactment in which the repealed enactment has been applied, incorporated or referred to; and this Act shall not affect the validity, invalidity, effect or consequences of anything already done or suffered, or any right, title, obligation or liability already acquired, accrued or incurred, or any remedy or proceeding in respect thereof, or any release or discharge of or from any debt, penalty, obligation, liability, claim or demand, or any indemnity already granted, or the proof of any past act or thing.
• All the provisions of the Haryana Juvenile Smoking Act, 1918 are duly covered under the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products (Prohibition of Advertisement and Regulation of Trade and Commerce, Production, Supply and Distribution) Act, 2003 which extends to the whole of India, so, there is no need to retain the Haryana Juvenile Smoking Act, 1918 in the State anymore.
