As a string of comments from BJP parliamentarians over the use of tobacco snowballed into a major embarrassment, Union Health Minister JP Nadda on Friday said the government did not "subscribe" to their remarks that suggested "nil" effect of smoking. The minister was referring to some party lawmakers controversially claiming there was no evidence in India to link cigarettes to cancer.
