Bangladesh


Bangladesh has long recognized the importance of addressing the tobacco problem. It was the first country to sign the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), the world's first-ever health treaty, and was among the first 40 countries to become a Party to the FCTC. Bangladesh made a further commitment to tobacco control in 2005 with the passage of the Tobacco Control Act (TCA), whose provisions, including enhanced warning labels, smoke-free legislation, and advertising and promotion restrictions, were implemented in 2006.
