Call for Revision of Tobacco Control Law in Bangladesh's Inland Waterway Association
The head of Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Association requests the revision of Tobacco Control Law to prevent smoking on boats.

The head of the inland waterway (passenger) association in Bangladesh has requested the prompt enactment of a revised draft of the Tobacco Control Act.


The leaders of the organization made this request on Saturday during a joint discussion with the Dhaka Asania Mission at Purana Paltan. They noted that smoking is currently allowed on many cruise ships, and that the display and sale of tobacco products continue to take place on board.


Due to the lack of direct legal obstacles in this regard, the parties concerned are unable to take the necessary measures," said the organization's senior vice president, Badiuzzaman Badal, while presiding over the meeting.


Abdus Salam Mia, fund manager of the Smoke-Free Children Movement in Bangladesh, Abul Kalam Khan, vice chairman of the Bangladesh Independent Women's Practitioners' Association, SM Abdul Jabbar, member of the board of directors, Md Mamun Or Rashid, Abdul Qayyum Sheikh, and Siddiqur Rahman Patwari, secretary, along with Md Mokhleshur Rahman, deputy director of the Ahsania Mission's Health Department, attended a meeting where several loopholes in the current tobacco control law were emphasized.


Abdus Salam Miah stated that if the revised tobacco control bill is passed, the gaps in the tobacco control law will be minimized. Furthermore, tobacco usage will decrease, and new tobacco usage will be discouraged.


He added that on the other hand, a complete smoking ban on public transportation is feasible.
