According to reports, the Bangladesh Ministry of Health and Family Welfare is considering amendments to the tobacco bill that would ban electronic cigarettes and nicotine pouches, and strengthen restrictions on combustible tobacco products.
The department has proposed a maximum fine of 5,000 Bangladeshi taka (approximately 0.07 yuan) for electronic cigarette users, and a maximum imprisonment of 6 months or a fine not exceeding 200,000 Bangladeshi taka for manufacturers and traders. They also plan to strengthen restrictions on combustible tobacco products by increasing the size of graphic warning areas on cigarette packages from 50% to 90% of the packaging, and imposing stricter requirements for retail licenses and limits on tobacco sales locations.
