It has been universally regarded that tobacco is one of the major public health hazards and is responsible directly or indirectly for an estimated eight lakh deaths annually in the country. It has also been found that treatment of tobacco related diseases and the loss of productivity caused therein cost the country much more than all the benefits accruing in the form of revenue and employment generated by the tobacco industry. The Parliamentary Committee on Subordinate Legislation (Tenth Lok Sabha) recommended that there is need for a comprehensive legislation to prohibit advertising and regulation of production, supply and distribution of cigarettes and tobacco products. Accordingly the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products (Prohibition of Advertisement and Regulation of Trade and Commerce, Production, Supply and Distribution) Bill was introduced in the Parliament.
