Public Health on Top

Tobacco Companies are compensating the penalties pressed on the tobacco sellers for advertising tobacco products at the sales points! The trick aims at weakening the impact of the TC law across the country. Besides, aggression to control the market share is also on. Distribution of hard cash, attractive prizes, quiz competition etc. are leading the death-marketing in an unusual speed. Abul Khair Tobacco agents are visiting stores to promote about the prizes of selling Marise cigarette. British American Tobacco Bangladesh is awarding the sellers and has launched family quiz competition. ‘Enjoy Eid for Life Long’ is the campaign title found on the posters of Dhaka Tobacco symbolizing Navy cigarette packets. Such ill initiatives should be stopped immediately for the protection of the public health.
