Smoking laws are enforced and followed in western developed countries but minimally exist in developing countries such as India. Many restauraunts, public places, and even workplaces in India allow smoking which can lead to various types of of respiratory problems such as COPD to the smoker, as well to others due to second hand smoke. We have witnessed globalization in developing countries such the growth of MNCs and fast food restaurants but not the laws that protect people as they do in developed countries. Health and environmental damages can be seen in many developing countries such as India since once again as in imperialistic times, people and the evironment are being exploited for profits and real improvements are not occuring.
