Anti-tobacco drive: Health dept wants cooperation from excise
The Punjab health department on Thursday asked the excise and taxation department to coordinate with it in the campaign against illegal hookah bars and the other establishments flouting anti-tobacco laws. In a communiqué to the financial commissioner (excise and taxation), health department principal secretary Vini Mahajan has sought instruction for the field staff to ensure that every tobacco-product pack carries the mandatory pictorial warning that smoking is injurious to health. “This way, the illicit manufacturing and trade of tobacco products can be checked to a large extent,” she stated.
