Development coordination urges increased tobacco taxes

Excessive smoking poses a significant threat to public health in Bangladesh, with approximately 350 individuals succumbing to smoking-related causes daily. The economic toll is also substantial, with tobacco-related diseases and premature deaths resulting in a yearly financial loss of Tk 30,570 crore. Despite sustained government efforts to curb smoking, the desired outcomes have yet to materialize.
