NGO protests Shah Rukh smoking at IPL -

he National Organization for Tobacco Eradication (NOTE), has protested against filmstar Shah Rukh Khan who was shown on the TV screen
smoking during an IPL match on April 21 in South Africa.

NOTE has asked the South African National Council Against Smoking (NCAS) to consider the issue seriously and stop smoking in
the stadium during Indian Premier League matches.

“I chatted with them and sent details and motivation to the supersport. They are the broadcasters. I am soliciting an agreement that they will not show anyone smoking,” Peter Ucko from NCAS has informed NOTE.

NOTE general secretary Shekhar Salkar said that they had contacted NCAS to explore possible advocacy that can be coordinated in South Africa after King Khan was shown puffing on a television screen.
