The case of Murli S. Deora v/s. The Union of India had a remarkable impact on the passive smokers\' right to live. Where there has been a moment when smoking in public spaces deprives in such public places the life of the non-smoker. The Hon\'ble Supreme Court explores the life of a non-smoker who is impacted by a person\'s smoking in public places, which undoubtedly deprives a non- smoker\'s life. It was also found that " Why shouldn’t a non-smoker suffer from different cancers, including lung or heart cancer, simply because he wants to go to public places? Is that not an indirect violation of his life without any due process? Under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution, without the due process of law, nobody is refused a person\'s life, however in this situation, a non-smoker needs to go public, not merely because of law. We are going to discuss this case in a brief manner and its effects on society.
