孟买高等法院于2025年10月14日裁定, 在印度的CoTPA之下, 提供不含烟草或尼古丁的草药钩(Hebal hookah)是合法的, The Bombay High Court ruled on October 14, 2025, that serving herbal hookah—containing no tobacco or nicotine—is legal under India’s COTPA, protecting restaurants from arbitrary police raids. 法院维持了2019年的一项决定,指出只有助理警察监察官一级官员可以采取行动,而执法需要正式投诉和违禁物质的证据。 The court upheld a 2019 decision, stating that only Assistant Police Inspector-level officers may act, and enforcement requires a formal complaint and evidence of prohibited substances. 即使警察收到打击指令,也不可能将遵守反腐败和反垄断法的企业作为打击对象。 Businesses complying with COTPA cannot be targeted, even if police receive directives to crack down. 这项命令的目的是防止对只使用Hookahs天然成分的企业采取非法行动。 The order aims to prevent unlawful actions against establishments using only natural ingredients in hookahs.
