DTI promo: Seller receives, consumers lit up

Dhaka Tobacco Industry is conducting a nationwide advertisement of lighter with Winston Logo, in tobacco selling shops including Barisal which is a violation of the law. Though the lighters come with a text ‘For Consumers’ Use’, the sellers are hanging the lighters on their stores for consumers’ use. Such gifts are inspiring the sellers and simultaneously conducting tobacco product promotion. Remarkably, such promotions are subject to penalty with a monetary fine not exceeding Tk 100,000 or a simple imprisonment not more than three months or both the penalties, and is the crime is committed again, the penalties will be doubled accordingly. Such advertisement should be stopped immediately by implementing the law.
