Apart from this , it has been found in some cases that minor boys and girls are also present in hookah bars and consume hookahs . It has also been experienced that various types of disputes take place due to intoxication in hookah bars . Apart from this , hookah bars have also been found to be centers of criminal activities in some cases . Therefore , it has become necessary that hookah bars should be banned in Madhya Pradesh .
2. An attempt was made to close the hookah bars in the year 2021 by order under section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure , 1973 (No. 2 of 1974). In this manner it is not possible to ban hookah bars for a long time. Therefore, in order to ban hookah bars in Madhya Pradesh, it has become necessary to make amendments in the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products (Prohibition of Advertisement and Regulation of Trade and Commerce, Production, Supply and Distribution) Act, 2003 (No. 34 of 2003 ) in its application to the State of Madhya Pradesh. Hence the following provisions are proposed in the Bill:-

(2) Imprisonment and fine for operating a hookah bar.
(3) The offence shall be cognizable .
3. Hence this Bill.
