Illicit trading in tobacco undermines public health initiatives and deprives governments of essential revenue. Strengthening enforcement measures and investing in advanced technologies, such as track and trace systems, are crucial steps towards curbing this illicit trade and promoting societal well-being. #IllicitTrade #Tobacco #Enforcement #AbKhasaraNahiGawara
The IMF's proposal to raise excise duty on tobacco products may inadvertently exacerbate the problem of illicit trading. Without effective enforcement measures and a robust track and trace system, higher taxes could drive consumers towards cheaper, unregulated alternatives. #IMF #Taxation #IllicitTrade #AbKhasaraNahiGawara
