Anbumani thanks actor Vijay

Special Correspondent

CHENNAI: Union Health and Family Welfare Minister Anbumani Ramadoss thanked actor Vijay for agreeing to refrain from smoking on screen in his future films.

In a press release issued here on Wednesday, the Union Health and Family Welfare Minister said he was happy to read interviews of the actor in which he had confirmed the same.

Earlier this week, Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss had expressed his objection to scenes in the film ‘Azhagiya Tamil Magan,’ in which actor Vijay is seen smoking.

“It is wrongly believed that movies did well only if it had scenes of heroes smoking,” Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss recently said at the launch of the Tamil Nadu Tobacco Control Coalition (TNCC) to make Chennai Smoke Free by 2010.

Dr. Ramadoss had also taken a dig at Censor Board members for allowing film producers to glorify smoking and drinking habits, and allowing obscenity on screen.
