“As the country is producing more tobacco in 2020 than 2019, the government must discourage unbridled import of cigarettes and tobacco. These measures would not only increase income of 75,000 families whose livelihood depends on cultivation of tobacco, but also lead to further increase in the production of crop, reducing dependence on the imported cigarettes and tobacco. Stakeholders in the local tobacco sector have pointed out that the use of E-cigarettes has proved dangerous for the smokers as a result of which several countries have banned their sale. In the coming budget, the government should completely ban import and sale of E-cigarettes.”
