Saturday, 29 November 2014



RAJSHAHI, Nov 28:  Time has come to stop all sorts of tobacco promotion related advertisements, publicity and patronization to protect the future generation from bad effect of smoking and other tobacco products, speakers at a participatory discussion here said yesterday. They viewed utmost emphasis should be given on freeing the public places and transports from smoking. There is no alternative to conduct mobile courts frequently to enforce the law of tobacco control in those places properly. Besides, coordination among the key stakeholders, awareness building and capacity development and law enforcement particularly mobile court operation could be the vital strategies for effective implementation of the law, they added.     — BSS
