Some Twitter users even lashed out at celebrities who endorse advertisements for tobacco products. The users also demanded to ban the passenger from travelling by air.

In November last year, data released by the National Family Health Survey showed that more than one-third of the men in India consume tobacco. Meanwhile, nearly nine percent of women over 15 years consume tobacco in the country.
