From now on, those who are caught lighting up in public places such as hotels, discos, libraries and parks face fines of 200 rupees, or around $4.

Doesn't look good. ;)

In a foreign country? I would be afraid the $4 fine is for their citizens, and an American would get thrown in the pokey for a month. ;)

Honestly, I can't imagine them enforcing a law like that very well in India.

i'm scouring the inter-webs and it says smoking is banned in hotels - but cannot determine if that means there are no smoking rooms available in hotels. anyone have a clue?

Check with Indian Embassy (http://www.indianembassy.org) or maybe the U.S. Department of State (http://www.state.gov/)???

From the looks of what I read, there are no smoking rooms in hotels.

I didn't search but I figured a forum dedicated to India and specific sub forums for individual cities could be of use to you, that was all:2
