Akij Adds New Brand in Death Trade

Akij Tobacco Company has been promoting its new brand Mr. Metro all over the country using flashy danglers and stickers that read, "WHEN THE CITY TALKS STYLE, IT SAYS MR. METRO." Promoting cigarette brands using such strong and alluring words is a grave threat to public health, as it not only leads existing smokers to switch to new brands, but also encourages non-smokers to get hooked on smoking. Such ill tactics of tobacco companies must be stopped through the formulation and implementation of tobacco taxation policy.
