NEW DELHI: Lok Sabha passed a bill that provides for pictorial warning on tobacco products with the option of displaying skull and cross bones on its packets.

The controversial bill, which was moved for consideration and passing by Union Minister of State for Health Panabaka Lakshmi, was passed by voice vote without any discussion amid an uproar created by Opposition NDA over its demand for setting up a Joint Parliamentary Committee to look into the Indo-US nuclear deal.
