Which of the following is the first 'smoke-free state' in India?

Himachal Pradesh

The correct answer is Option (4) - Himachal Pradesh

The first 'smoke-free state' in India is Himachal Pradesh.

This achievement was made possible by the combined efforts of the Central Government's Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) scheme and the Himachal Pradesh government's Himachal Grihini Suvidha Scheme. These initiatives ensured widespread access to clean cooking fuel (LPG) in Himachal Pradesh households, thus reducing reliance on traditional methods that contribute to indoor air pollution and smoke inhalation.
