MUMBAI, Aug. 20 -- Preventing the youth from getting addicted to tobacco is far more effective than taking corrective measures, said chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, who has directed every school and college campus to be free of tobacco stalls and unauthorised kiosks.

He further directed that measures should be taken to control the factors responsible for addiction. htc...
