According to the FIR, the individual was caught smoking inside the Spicejet restroom during flight and was turned over to the airport authorities by the crew.
Meanwhile, in addition to the 1.2 million nonsmokers who are exposed to secondhand smoke, almost seven million of these people pass away from direct tobacco usage. India, which transitioned from a developing to a high-income nation, is projected to have 120 million smokers, or roughly 9% of its 138 crore population.
