Foreign cigarettes are being illegally sold in Jammu and Kashmir, but no action has been taken by the departments concerned.
Some of the foreign cigarette brands like Win, Black, Mond, Esse Light, Mild Seven, Paris, etc, are easily available in Jammu market and sellers are fearlessly selling them without any hesitation.
The Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act (COTPA) has made it mandatory to have graphic health warning on the 85 per cent space of the cigarette packet and the Union government levies heavy taxes on the tobacco products to discourage their sale. But these foreign cigarettes have no health warning on it.
