Using the brand name of a tobacco product to market a non-tobacco product is a ploy that is routinely resorted to by companies to get round the ban on tobacco product advertising.
Ban the showcasing of tobacco products at the entrance to or inside a shop or a school.
Ban the sale of cigarettes or bidis in the loose. Since ensuring that users are forced to notice the pictorial warning and message on the packets is one of the main reasons for banning the sale of tobacco products except as a whole packet.
Clamp down on illegal cigarettes smuggled into the country so that tobacco farmers are spared declining demand.
Step up R&D to find uses for tobacco such as in pesticides and weedicides.
The need for prominent pictorial warnings is even greater in India due to low levels of literacy.The govt. has increased the taxes on tobacco products.
