The policies in this dataset were identified by searching Casemine (a legal research platform) using the terms <i>tobacco, cigarette</i> and <i>bidi</i>, reflecting terminology commonly used in Indian legal sources. Additional materials, including manuals and codes of the British Indian presidencies, were obtained through targeted internet searches. </p><p dir="ltr">Our sole intention of publishing this dataset is that it may be of help to other researchers/actors interested in tobacco related policy/issues in India.
