Death Marketing-1

BATB awarded by govt. attached institute ICSB

British American Tobacco Bangladesh (BATB), the top death trader in Bangladesh, has been awarded once again by the Institute of Chartered Secretaries of Bangladesh (ICSB), an institution attached to the Ministry of Commerce, Bangladesh. Such award and recognition to a tobacco company from a government body literally inspires them in death-marketing which is entirely undesirable. In one hand, the government is attempting to reduce the deaths and damages caused by tobacco use by imposing higher tax on tobacco products and implementing the tobacco control law and on the other hand, the tobacco companies are being awarded on various occasions which resembles a dual-policy of the government. Public health is on top and the state is responsible to protect that. So, such activities should be stopped considering the public health benefits.
