I hope this issue gets the priority that it deserves, especially in the high prevalence like South Asia. Most effective way to control it is raising taxes beyond the tipping point. Hopefully policy makers are listening.

How can we allow tobacco industry to announce schemes to attract our youth ?. Such schemes and Lucky draws are against the country laws. Govt must take action on this violation ?
