Chain smoker Shahrukh Khan can't keep away from the cigs, even when he's at IPL. The smoking act has irked the anti-smoking lobby who have already banned footage of smoking celebrities on television.

NCAS [South African Council Against Smoking] informed their counterpart, The National Organisation for Tobacco Eradication (NOTE), "We have sent the details to Supersport, who are the official broadcasters of the IPL, and the NCAS is in the process of soliciting an agreement that they will not show anyone smoking."

The NCAS are to make a No Smoking announcement throughout the match, and SRK has been informed that if he is caught smoking again, he will be shown out of the stadium.
