 Tobacco is a product prepared from the leaves of
the tobacco plant by curing them.

 During the past decade, academics, bloggers,
media practitioners and civil society groups in
Bangladesh have criticized the tobacco industry
for bringing about negative effects on societal
health, environment, agriculture and education.

9. Current Situation:
 Tobacco is cultivated in both tropical and sub-tropical
climatic parts of the world. About 100 countries produce
tobacco, but the major producers are China, India, Brazil, United
States, Turkey, Indonesia, Argentina, Zimbabwe and Malawi.
Production of tobacco leaf increased by 40% between 1971,
during which 4.2 million tons of leaf were produced, and

15.  Consumption of Tobacco Products in
Bangladesh:
 Bangladesh, a developing country in South Asia has a
large consumer base for tobacco consumption in
different forms such as tobacco leaf oral consumption,
cigarettes, bidi etc. The tobacco products are quite sthe
part of the daily consumption for almost 38.7 million
smokers (Nationmaster.com, 2003).

16.  Smoking Tobacco Consumption:
Cigarettes are the most expensive form of smoking
tobacco products followed by bidis. The number of people
using tobacco in Bangladesh is 41.1 million. According to
the Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) in Bangladesh
(2009) there are 43.3% of adults (41.3 million) are using
tobacco in smoking and/or smokeless form. The gender
disaggregation shows that 44.7% of men and 1.5% of
women are using smoking tobacco.

17. A Myth of High Profitability of Tobacco
Farming:
 The key benefits of tobacco growing are mainly received
by the registered farmers only. While unregistered
farmers often receive a lower price for their tobacco
leaf, compared to the registered farmers. While,
accurate statistics throughout the country are not
available, observation and previous research suggest a
figure of 10% of tobacco farmers being registered, with
unregistered farmers receiving very little economic
benefit from cultivating tobacco

18. Government policy for tobacco:
 Contrary to its policy of discouraging tobacco cultivation,
the government has retained the VAT exemption facility
for unprocessed tobacco in the proposed budget for fiscal
2017-18.Denouncing the government decision, anti-
tobacco campaigners say the waiver on unprocessed
tobacco, sold to processors mainly by traders, is
inconsistent with the government's goal of freeing the
nation from the tobacco menace by 2040.“

19. Conclusion:
 Restricting the tobacco companies will reduce the negative
externalities from the society It will maximize the social
welfare. In turn, the economy of Bangladesh would benefit as
a whole by avoiding the deadweight loss attributable to
tobacco usage in the country. From another point of view, the
urge for tobacco control on health grounds is undeniable. It
would also be beneficial to tobacco users to stop their tobacco
consumption.
