Abstract
To ascertain the compliance to Cigarette and Other Tobacco Products Act (COTPA) 2003 which ensures the protection of children from the adverse health effects of second hand smoke.This cross-sectional study assessed the compliance of 32 educational institutions and 157 points of sale of Shimla city.About 88% of the educational institutions and mere 7.6% points of sale were found having good compliance to the key indicators. No PoS was found within the premises of educational institutions; however, 26% were found selling tobacco products within 100 metres radius of an educational institution. 7.6% points of sale were found selling a tobacco product to children.Despite having the status of a smoke free city, lapses were observed in compliance to the Act. Strict adherence to the provisions of the Act would ultimately lead to a smoke-free environment for our children.
