You all know that illegal cigarette is an issue in India
because it almost cuts 25% of the total taxation of the Indian government from the cigarette industry.
The related information is available on the website of the tobacco institute of India.
I think we can curb these issues in this lockdown for forever and we also want to work upon this because it can be done with the following solutions,
1 GPI and ITC should start awareness against
illegal cigarette via visibility at the shops where they do their cigarette
advertisements.
2 One-quarter of compulsory awareness by these company
might result in minimizing consumption of the illegal cigarettes.
3 I have come to know that most illegal
cigarettes are counterfeit cigarettes which is nothing but a copy of the OG.
So awareness on the ground of counterfeit and illicit will be made people not buying illegal or
counterfeit cigarettes.
4 Most of the time it has been seen that illegal or
counterfeit cigarettes import from China and Indonesia so we can use a message including the name of china for illegal cigarettes to curb this issue. Indian
people are not happy with china and its products and due to COVID- 19
people are really upset about china.
5 From my perspective, India should work upon this
point to curb illegal and counterfeit cigarettes.
6 Tobacco Institute of India has been working on these issues but it has been seen that local authority does not take action on
this issue.
7 Public awareness, high surveillance and proper
management of COTPA regulations are the main keys to curb illicit
cigarettes.
