Death Marketing-1

BATB runs illegal sticker campaign

“Per stick Pilot/ Hollywood/ Durby is only TK 2” – is the leaflet that promote the BATB tobacco products without any difficulty. They are easily informing people the Budget has no impact of their brands. Whatever the Budget-makers say about the price hike of tobacco products, such illegal advertisements testifies the reality. We are on the view that as the income level of the consumers has increased in the current year comparing the previous one and the prices of such death-inviting products have remained unchanged, thus the real price of the products has reduced in the current year. In fact, the people are getting the BATB toxic products by less than Tk 2. All forms of advertisements of tobacco products should be stooped and the products should be brought under proper tobacco taxation.
