#IllegalTobaccoTrade funds a lot of criminal activities where money is used by organised crime syndicates to venture into other illegal activities such as #prostitution, #terrorism, #gambling & racketeering. Ultimately, it places everyone in danger. #DoNotBuyFake to safe lives!

Criminals wheedle & exploit the unsuspecting consumers to spread their trap of #IllegalCigarettes & gain profits. Such #cigarettes brought in from multiple entry points & through unchecked passageways are later sold at low costs, #illegally across the country. #DoNotBuyFake

As per @WCO_OMD Illicit Trade Report 2012, the #IllicitTobaccoTrade promotes organized crime, helping terrorist groups to generate large sums of profits. This profit strengthens such groups & leads to rise in criminal activities, besides poses danger to govt & public life.

#DidYouKnow that low production costs & high levels of demand make #IllicitCigarettes one of the world's most trafficked illegal goods? Public tolerance & acceptance of these cigarettes due to cheap prices help traders in exploiting consumers. #beresponsabile & do NOT buy Fake!

Amid #COVIDOutbreak, consumers are being more alert & thus buying masks & sanitizers to #FightCorona Taking precautions is certainly effective but what about the hidden threat? Illegal #ChineseCigarettes are still a menace & pose huge danger. Time is right for a complete ban!

Owing to #NationalEmergency situation, Indian Govt has implemented #Lockdownextention until 3rd May to curb #COVID19. Besides keeping #India under surveillance, govt should regulate #IllegalChineseCigarettes, a major threat to #publichealth. #BanCarona #ChineseCigarettes

The #TobaccoInstituteofIndia has repeatedly highlighted the fact that #Punjab has become a #IllegalCigaretteTrade hub. As per a report by TII, cities like #Ludhiana are fast becoming major hotspots of #IllegalCigarettes market in India. Alas, the issue still remains ignored!

#India is 4th largest & fastest-growing #IllegalCigarette market in the world with smuggled ones accounting for a quarter of domestic #cigarette industry. The severe scenario in northern cities like #Ludhiana & #Jalandhar needs strict regulations. #PunjabNeedsAttention

As #CoronaCases touch 6,761 with death toll of 206 in #India, @PunjabGovtIndia has extended the #lockdown up-to 1st May. To prevent any loopholes that turn situation into calamity, #Punjab should take stringent actions against #IllicitCigaretteTrade. #PunjabCoronavirusUpdate

Recently #UttarPradesh & few other states banned #tobacco products fearing that the habit of spitting after its consumption & chewing gums can add to #CoronaSpread. However, Govts need to also focus on the unregulated #IllicitTobaccoTrade which is more harmful! #StopIlicit

Last year @PunjabDOHFW directed authorities to initiate action against vendors indulging in #illegalcigarettes trade. Yet #Punjab's illegal market accounts for 20% of the total #IllegalCigarette trade (#Jalandhar & #Ludhiana are major spots). We ask why? #PunjabNeedsAttention

The @PunjabDOHFW has been adhering to #COTPA for regulating #cigarettes & other #tobacco products. Yet the manufacturing of #IllicitCigarettes remains ignored, calling for the immediate surveillance & regulation. @PunjabGovtIndia #PunjabNeedsAttention #Jalandhar #Ludhiana

Sad state of affairs in #Punjab has been underlined in past too. #TobaccoInstituteOfIndia last year submitted list of outlets selling #IllegalCigarettes across the state, especially in #Jalandhar & #Ludhiana, but it remains ignored This growing #Pandemic needs urgent #Lockdown!

#PunjabNeedsAttention to fight #IllicitCigaretteTrade! Many outlets in cities like #Jalandhar & #Ludhiana are manufacturing #IllegalCigarettes to meet illegitimate desires & support organised crimes. It's a matter of great concern which if ignored, can become a huge calamity.
