Abul Khair Violating Tobacco Control Law

Abul Khair Tobacco Company Limited (AKTCL) has been violating the tobacco control law to promote Sunmoon, its cigarette brand. The company has been circulating price declaration posters all over the country, that say, "Commodities at Reasonable Price Available Here; Sunmoon Cigarette at Taka 5 per Stick". It should be noted that as per the tobacco control law, any promotion at the points of sale is strictly prohibited and a punishable offense. The penalty for advertising tobacco products in the existing law is simple imprisonment not exceeding three months or a monetary fine not exceeding Tk. 100,000 or both. For each repeated violation, the fine doubles or triples accordingly.
