The other day, I along with some friends was wandering in the Mohammadpur area. When we were passing the Krishi Market suddenly we heard some slogans. We thought that it was some kind of local election campaign but we were wrong. To our utter surprise, we noticed that some people were shouting slogans in favour of a new brand of cigarette! The words they were uttering were provocative and alluring for the young generation. We were baffled to see this cigarette campaign.

When strong campaign against smoking is necessary, some cigarette companies are inspiring people to take up smoking through attractive advertisements and campaigns which is very detrimental to the people.
