The WHO FCTC Knowledge Hub on tobacco taxation and illicit trade in collaboration with the Bangladesh Network for Tobacco Tax Policy and the Bangladesh Anti-Tobacco Alliance is pleased to present: Trends in Tobacco Taxation in South East Asia.

 

Tobacco taxation is widely recognized as the single most cost-effective way to save lives in developing countries is by raising tobacco taxes. It not only increases government revenues and saves households money when their members quit smoking, but also prevents premature deaths. Join us for this exciting webinar as we discuss the trends in tobacco taxation for South East Asia with a special focus on the Bangladesh country experience.

 

The webinar will include the trends in tobacco tax structures and provide evidence of the effectiveness of tobacco taxation.
