Death Marketing -2

Discount on signing petition, target youth

In order to protect the so-called right to vape, the vape traders of Bangladesh have been collecting petition signatures in an online campaign. Unlike other online petitions which promote a rightful cause, vape traders are offering lucrative gifts in exchange for signatures. Vapers have to visit a BENDSTA vape shop, scan a QR code to sign the petition and receive a Privilege Card that offers a 5 percent discount and an invitation to attend all vape-related events. The whole purpose of this campaign is to hook the youth into the destructive habit of vaping. According to World Health Organization, e-cigarettes and vaping are certainly harmful to health. To fend off the associated harms, the authorities must ban the import, marketing, and sale of these emerging tobacco products (ETPs).
