They are working relentlessly together with tobacco control organizations in formulating, amending, implementing tobacco control law consistent with FCTC. Very recently, mass media along with anti-tobacco organizations, has played praiseworthy roles in Health Development surcharge management policy finalization. The mass media of Bangladesh has been extensively contributing in almost all the tobacco control sectors including finalization of the National Tobacco Control Policy and Tobacco Farming Control Policy, GHW implementation, TAPS ban, smoking-free environment creation, unveiling tobacco company ill tactics among others. The media monitoring data analysis of PROGGA from to clearly proves the contribution of mass media. The number of media pieces has been increased by 343 percent in than Also, the quality of coverage has improved substantially. Now the mass media is not bracketed only by events and day celebrations, it publishes news and reports, talk shows, investigative reports and editorials covering priority tobacco control issues. The political pledge from the government for tobacco control is getting stronger. Anti-tobacco organizations, civil society and mass media are playing significant roles in the process. But if the national tobacco control program using surcharge fund is not designed and implemented, and the GHW is not implemented lawfully within the shortest possible time, tobacco-free Bangladesh by 2040, declared by the Premier, will be hampered. The mass media role is highly important here. Number of Media Pieces on Tobacco Control, to

5 g~j I Ki Price and Tax Proposed budget against public health Say anti-tobacco campaigners terming tax structure complex 07 June 2017 Doulot Akter Mala The proposal for unchanged prices of higher and premium segment and smokeless tobacco (SLT) products like gul, zarda etc in the budget for is awfully against public health, said the anti-tobacco campaigners. They are of the view that the tobacco products are cheaper for consumption in Bangladesh - especially considering the inflation and per capita income that has increased by 9.27 per cent here. In a statement on Tuesday, they termed the proposed tax structure complex and said it will ultimately benefit the multinational tobacco companies. "The lower slab has been separated into two new slabs titled 'local manufacturer' and 'international manufacturer' which only added complexity to the tobacco tax structure," a statement issued by the anti-tobacco advocacy organisation Progga said. Even there is no slightest reflection of the prime minister's pledge made last year about a simplified and effective tobacco tax system, the statement viewed. The proposed budget has set price for the lower slab of per 10-stick cigarette pack from the due to the faulty taxation system (ad valorem) the tobacco companies will reap benefit following the increased price local manufacturers to Tk 27 from Tk 23 and the same has been fixed at Tk 35 for the international tobacco manufacturers. "The price increase is 17.4 per cent for the local manufacturers while it is around 52.2 per cent for the international companies. However, due to the faulty taxation system (ad valorem) the tobacco companies will reap benefit following the increased price," they observed. The anti-tobacco campaigners in the statement alleged that the finance minister, without increasing tax on higher and premium slab cigarettes, is giving privilege to the international tobacco manufacturers. British American Tobacco Bangladesh (BATB) is the only multinational tobacco producer that manufacturers almost all types of cigarettes in the country. At present, there are 14 brands of the BATB and only four (04) of those belong to the lower slab. "Thereby, it appears that the multinational tobacco company will be gaining from the unchanged tax rate on higher and premium slab cigarettes which really is a matter of concern," it read. The long demand for a single tobacco tax structure from the anti-tobacco organisations have not been reflected in the proposed budget. Rather, the slabs have been increased with recommendations from the multinational tobacco companies. Consequently, it said, the chance of dodging tax by exploiting the slabs remains open for the cigarette companies. More than half of the tobacco users consume smokeless tobacco products like zarda and gul, but the proposed budget has no mention of increasing taxes on the SLT items. The poor people, especially the women, are more prone to SLT consumption. There are no initiatives in this

6 g~j I Ki Price and Tax there are no hike in tax for higher and premium segment cigarettes. Consequently, the multinational tobacco companies like BATB will be the beneficiary which has at least 10 cigarette brands belonging to the higher price slabs. proposed budget to protect this large population from the health damages caused by SLTs which is very disappointing, they mentioned. The budget has also proposed to set price for non-filtered 25-stick and filtered 20-stick bidi packets by Tk 15 without changing the existing tax rate on bidi. Simultaneously, tariff value for bidi has also been abolished. It will simplify bidi tax collection process to some extent. Although the finance minister has called for stopping bidi production by next three (03) years, there are no reflections of the issue in bidi price hike plan. The price for bidi was increased by 50 per cent last year, but the proposed price hike amounts to only per cent this time. The proposed budget has imposed a 100 per cent supplementary duty (SD) on electronic cigarettes to discourage its consumption as there is a gradual rise in the use of e-cigarettes in Bangladesh. Besides, they said, import tax on both the products has been set at 25 per cent which is an adorable initiative indeed. Among other tax proposals, the tobacco product export duty has been set at 25 per cent from the existing 10 per cent to discourage tobacco farming. Another 2.5 per cent surcharge has been imposed on the income of cigarette, bidi, zarda, gul and all other types of tobacco product businesses. Meanwhile, another anti-tobacco activists' statement said there are no hike in tax for higher and premium segment cigarettes. Consequently, the multinational tobacco companies like BATB will be the beneficiary which has at least 10 cigarette brands belonging to the higher price slabs. For protecting the domestic tobacco companies, low tier cigarette has been divided into two tiers - 'local brand' and 'international brand' in the proposed budget. The minister in his budget speech said, "It is found after analysing the market share of low tier cigarettes from various cigarette companies over the last couple of years that the local companies are losing their market while multinational one is occupying the space which is a threat to the existence of local companies. If the downtrend continues, the local companies will lose their presence within next two years." There are no international tobacco companies here excepting the BATB that operates with low segment cigarettes in Bangladesh. Although an international company, the BATB is advertising its five low brand cigarettes to be sold at Tk 27 instead of Tk 35 like the local brands. "Based on the aforesaid ground, a question appears - which international tobacco company is grabbing the low segment of cigarette market as per the remarks of the finance minister?" the statement read.

9 g~j I Ki Price and Tax Impose specific tax on tobacco products: activists 20 April Nurul Islam Hasib, In a strange paradox, cigarette prices in Bangladesh are among the lowest in the world, and local hand-rolled bidis are even cheaper. But the tax rates are higher than in Norway which is the most expensive country for cigarettes, according to a WHO analysis. Anti-tobacco groups say this is due to faulty taxation. Industries keep the base price very low so that the prices do not go up significantly even after taxation. In the current tobacco taxation policy, all products are subject to supplementary duty apart from VAT. But the multinational giants such as British American Tobacco Bangladesh has created different price slabs, and the tax burden on their cheaper products is much lower than the expensive brands, creating a large price gaps between brands. People switch between different brands instead of quitting altogether when you increase prices in one slab more than the other, said ABM Zubair, executive director of Progga that leads some anti-tobacco groups in Bangladesh, told bdnews24.com. He said they demand lifting all price slabs and imposing specific taxes on all products as the finance minister is preparing to announce the next year s budget on June 1. Ten sticks of the lowest tier cigarette are Tk 23 that includes 50 percent supplementary duty and 15 percent VAT and 1 percent health surcharge, he said. In the premium brand, the supplementary duty is 65 percent and the VAT and surcharge remain the same which means consumers have to pay over 80 percent as tax on the base price. But the products retail at Tk 101 for 10 sticks. Traditionally increasing taxes mean increasing prices and lowering consumption. But in Bangladesh it did not happen only due to this faulty taxation. So we demand specific tax on the products like other countries, Zubair said. After imposing specific tax, we want to adjust it every year with the purchasing power of people and inflation, he said, adding that the tax hike does not touch people as people s purchasing power also goes up every year. He said tobacco industries keep the base price very low so that the prices do not go up significantly after taxation. Even then they make 50 percent profit. Because it is very cheap to produce cigarettes and bidis. Tobacco workers are cheapest in Bangladesh, he said, citing Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics. The latest survey shows Bangladesh is one of the largest tobacco consuming countries in the world, with 43 percent of adults consuming cigarettes, bidis, smokeless tobacco, or other tobacco products. In Bangladesh, smoking- attributable deaths represent about 30 percent of all fatalities from heart diseases, 38 percent of all cancer deaths, 35 percent of lung TB deaths, and over 24 percent of deaths from other respiratory diseases. The most effective way to reduce tobacco use is to raise the price through taxation, according to the WHO. Higher prices discourage youth from initiating tobacco use and encourage current users to quit. If Bangladesh reforms its current tobacco tax system and impose specific tax equivalent to 70 percent of retail prices of cigarettes, and 50 percent of the retail price of bidis and smokeless products eliminating all price tiers, it will create a huge impact, Zubair said. It will encourage nearly nine million adult smokers both cigarettes and bidis to quit and keep over seven million young Bangladeshis from starting smoking and prevent over six million premature deaths caused by smoking. By one estimate, the government will earn an additional tax revenue of about Tk 80 billion, he said.

10 K U KŠkj I n Í ÿc Tactic and Interference Is 'Battle of Mind-2017' arranged by BATBC legal? 11 October 2017 Golam Mostafa Jibon Despite the ban imposed by the government, British American Tobacco Bangladesh Company (BATBC) has launched its branding, marketing and campaigning openly again in the name of 'Battle of Mind-2017' competition terming it a platform of employees' recruitment. Meanwhile, the organization has started registration for the students of different government and non-government universities using a link on online. East West University Business Club (EWUBC) also posted recently such circulars on this issue on its Facebook wall. As a result, a discontent is prevailing among the people, especially among the members of civil society. Though, the organizers of the competition have declined to say it branding, marketing and campaign activity claiming that it is a platform of employees' recruitment, the members of different non-government organizations (NGOs) and civil society have boldly termed it one kind of branding, marketing and publicity policy of the company which is absolutely violating the ban of government. The civil society members have also urged the authorities concerned to take necessary action immediately to stop such a malpractice and ensure punishment against the offenders. According to the sources, like previous years, BATBC has organized 'Battle of Mind-2017' competition this year with the intention to draw the attention of young generation to promote its business and expand marketing activities. As a part of the competition, they have been arranging several programs including 'in-house workshop' at different educational institutions in phases to generate competitors. After completion of the processes, they will select some winners from the so-called competition. The BATBC has been adopting such deadly marketing policy since 2004 to attract youths in smoking and influence the policymakers violating the rules and regulations. Following the Section 5 (C) of Smoking and Tobacco Products (Control) Act-2005 (Amended 2013), use of any tobacco company's name, sign, logo, trademark and sponsoring or giving awards through such competitions or programs was banned by the government. Even, if this section of the law is violated, a monetary fine not exceeding TK 100,000 or simple imprisonment not less than three months or both together may be imposed against him or her. ABM Zubair, Executive Director of PROGGA, said, "The multinational tobacco company BATBC has been carrying out its branding, marketing and campaign activities in the name of 'Battle of Mind-2017' competition to encourage smoking, though it is totally prohibited by the Smoking and Tobacco Products (Control) Act, 2005 (Amended 2013). It is nothing but campaigning/marketing policy of the company. There is no example of such recruitment process in the country as no prominent company was earlier seen to recruit manpower in this way. This is nothing but dodging with the law. The government should stop such arrangement immediately to save youths from the grasp of smoking by implementing the law." Lokman Hossain, a teacher and social worker said, "Arrangement of such competition by BATBC is a bad policy of its brand promotion. Thus the organization is destroying the future of our children specially the meritorious students of universities." Terming the activities absolutely illegal, Roxana Quader, Additional Secretary of Health Ministry, told The Asian Age, "Earlier, we took action against such programs by arranging mobile courts. Even, we stopped the arrangement earlier by sending letter to the organizers. If we get any information about arrangement of such program, we will take necessary action to stop it as it is totally illegal. BATBC by such arrangement is trying to attract the students, even girls of different educational institutions to smoking. In the name of such competition, they are trying to evade the eyes of law." IrumIkbal, CSR and Corporate affairs Manager of BATB, through its recruited public relations agency has claimed that the program does not publish any advertisement or encourage people to use tobacco products. "Even, it doesn't distribute any award to the winners. It's a platform of employees' recruitment. The program is conducted by BATBC paying full respect to the law!"

12 K U KŠkj I n Í ÿc Tactic and Interference 08 September 2017 NBR withdraws export tax for EPZ tobacco factories Staff Correspondent The National Board of Revenue has withdrawn export duty on tobacco products for the factories located at the country s export processing zones, sparking criticisms among the anti-tobacco campaigners. The revenue board issued a statutory regulatory order on Monday withdrawing 25 per cent tax, which was imposed in the budget for the current fiscal year , on export of tobacco products such as cigarettes, cigars, cheroots and cigarillos, water pipe tobacco, homogenized or reconstituted tobacco and other tobacco products. The exemption will come into force from July 1, 2017 with retrospective effect. The tax was imposed to discourage the production, use and export of tobacco items considering its harmful impact on human health in line with the government s target to make the country tobacco free by In addition, the government is also taking measures to control tobacco consumption and protect public health. But the NBR exempted the tobacco companies operating in the export processing zones under the Bangladesh Export Processing Zone Authority from paying the duty on export of the products within two months of imposing the duty. Officials of the revenue board said that they took the decision in line with the BEPZA Act which says export by the factories located at the EPZs will be tax free. There are eight EPZs in the country. Currently, only US-based Pace Tobacco Industries (BD) Limited is producing and exporting tobacco products from the Mongla Export Processing Zone. Multinational and local tobacco companies including British American Tobacco Bangladesh and some other trading companies also export tobacco products mainly tobacco leaves and tobacco refuse from the country. In FY , the NBR for the first time imposed 10 per cent duty on export of tobacco leaves, tobacco refuse and unmanufactured tobacco. According to the data of the Export Promotion Bureau, Bangladesh exported tobacco products worth $46.62 million in FY In FY , export earnings from the sector were $55 million. The main export destinations of tobacco products are the United Arab Emirates, the United States, Italy, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Denmark, Spain, France, Russia, Netherlands, Pakistan, India and Poland. Tobacco exports started in Local manufacturers have been demanding withdrawal of export duty on tobacco products to explore the export potential of the items. ABM Zubair, executive director of Proggra, an anti-tobacco campaigner in the country, said that the NBR exempted tobacco export tax for EPZ companies at the time when the government had been taking various steps to discourage tobacco cultivation and consumption of tobacco products. Export tax exemption for tobacco products will encourage tobacco cultivation in the country, which will go extremely against the public health and food security, he said. He also said that there should also be no such industries in the EPZs.

15 K U KŠkj I n Í ÿc Tactic and Interference 23 May 2017 Workers at bidi factories face serious health hazards Ahamed Ullah Working in bidi factories takes a heavy toll on the health of its workers, causing early deaths and other serious physical and mental hazards. People who work in bidi factories are exposed to the detrimental effects of tobacco - either they smoke or not. According to a World Health Organisation (WHO) report, tobacco causes 1 in 10 deaths among adults and about 4 million premature deaths worldwide. It has been known for many decades that tobacco is a leading preventable cause of ill health and premature death in the world. It was learnt from Tobacco Industry Watch Team BD that there are 117 bidi factories in Bangladesh and about 65,000 workers earn their bread working in these factories. They produce monthly 405 crore and annually 4,865 crore sticks of bidi. Haragach, 12 km away from Rangpur city, is famous for its tobacco business and bidi factories. A large number of bidi workers, including children and women, working in the country s tobacco factories are suffering from different fatal diseases. They are suffering the environment of a Bidi factory is very unhealthy where more than 150 people work at the same time in dark, poorly-ventilated, cramped rooms without any protective equipment from various kinds of lung diseases. Of them, maximum sufferings are from chronic asthma and bronchitis. As tobacco dusts float on air, common people, including children, suffer from skin and eye diseases. They also suffer from headaches, vomiting, kidney infection and abdominal problems. Frequent fever and cough are very common among the children. The child labourers also suffer from malnutrition as they work in unhealthy environment. Sources said most of the children are 4 to 16 years of age and they are engaged in different stages of bidi production. According the National Child Policy 2010, children under the age of 14 cannot be employed in any work. Where below 18 can do light work but cannot be employed in hazardous work. A daily sun investigation found that usually children are engaged in four stages of bidi production - preparing empty bidi shells, inserting chopped tobacco in the shells, closing the shell tops and preparing bidi packets. According to a study by the National Board of Revenue, 75,000 workers are engaged in 195 bidi factories across the country and half of them are children. According to Haragach bidi labour leaders, there are 35 bidi factories in the district, which holds 30 percent of all bidi factories in the country and the number of bidi workers in the factories is about 40,000. Among the 40,000 workers, half of them are children, among the remaining 20,000, 12,000 are female and 8,000 are male workers. While visiting a bidi factory in Haragach of Rangpur recently, it was seen that the environment of a Bidi factory is very unhealthy where more than 150 people work at the same time in dark, poorly-ventilated, cramped rooms without any protective equipment. The workers are not

Working at bidi and cigarette factory is in the fourth position of the list. aware of their health and environment of the work place. They do not use mask and hand gloves to protect themselves. A medical officer from Haragach Government Hospital said half of the patients who come to the medical centre suffer from cold, cough, fever and malnutrition. The medical officer also said most of the workers in the bidi factories are asthma patients. Of them, 80 percent of the patients are female workers, while 10 percent are children and remaining 10 percent are adult male workers. Workers at Lalmonirhat bidi factories said there are nine bidi factories in the district, which is 7.7 percent of all the factories in the country. Around 21,000 workers are engaged in different works at the factories. Of them, 70 percent are children aged between 4 and 14 years. According to the existing industrial rules, medical check-up of the aforesaid bidi factory workers should be done after every three months. But the existing rules are not being followed in most of these factories, some workers alleged. Contacted, Md Aynal Haque, a local resident of Haragach, told daily sun, The workers work in these factories are mostly poor, illiterate and have no awareness about health condition. As a result, they are being exposed to various diseases. Contacted, Dr Mahfuzur Rahman, Grants Manager (Bangladesh), Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids (CTFK), told daily sun, Tobacco workers are working in an unhygienic environment at their work place and they are suffering from various diseases. He said, Continuous inhalation of tobacco dust creates various lungs diseases specially asthma. Passive smoking also creates lungs diseases of tobacco workers. They also suffer from chronic diseases such as bronchitis, kidney infection and skin and eye diseases due to tobacco dust floating on air, he added. Monjusree Saha, head of women s rights of RDRS Bangladesh, told daily sun, A large number of people are working in bidi factories because of poverty and for lack of employment opportunity in Rangpur district. She also said children are doing hazardous works without continuing their school as their parents are very poor. Children are working to help their families. It is not possible to eliminate child labour from bidi factory in Haragach of Rangpur without making any alternative employment opportunity for them. Poor families and their children are mainly working in bidi factory as they have no other alternative work, she said. She mentioned that there is no such factory in this area where people can work. Child labour in bidi industries has legally been banned in Bangladesh. Section 32 of the UN Charter on Child Rights says, States parties recognise the right of the child to be protected from economic exploitation and from performing any work that is likely to be hazardous or to interfere with the child s education, or to be harmful to the child health or physical, mental, spiritual, moral or social development. The government of Bangladesh has declared 38 jobs as hazardous and banned children engagement with those tasks. Working at bidi and cigarette factory is in the fourth position of the list. Bangladesh also ratified ILO Convention no 182 in 2001 that deals with the hazardous child labour. Many think the appointing children in bidi factories cannot stop due to lack of proper application of law and UN charter and rehabilitation of children.
