Death Marketing-1

BATB violates TC law

Recently, the British American Tobacco Bangladesh (BATB) has launched a countrywide campaign for promoting Gold Leaf Cigarette by violating TC law. An attractive display provided by BATB is seen in the city stores. Notably, the penalty for advertising tobacco products in the existing law is a simple imprisonment not exceeding three months or a monetary fine not exceeding Tk 100,000 or both. If the law is violated again, the fine doubles gradually. The BATB is running its promotion despite the legal ban. Such death-marketing is harmful to public health and should be stopped.
