BATB’s Illegal Publicity

BATB is continuing its death trade by exhibiting the price list of cigarettes in retail shops all over the country including Dhaka. The sole intent behind this list and the company’s some other attempts to attract the customers is to promote tobacco products and make the customers aware of the exact price of cigarettes. BATB is running this publicity operation all over the country without any interruption or interference from the authority. Notably, the punishment for advertising tobacco and tobacco products, under the existing law, is a simple imprisonment or a monetary fine not exceeding Tk. 100,000 or both the penalties and if the offence is found again, the punishment will be doubled.
