Research and advocacy organisation Knowledge for Progress or PROGGA and Anti-Tobacco Media Alliance or ATMA raised the demand in a virtual press conference on Tuesday.
They placed a set of proposals and said implementing these in the upcoming budget for 2021-22 fiscal year amid the outbreak of COVID-19, a respiratory disease, will
prevent premature deaths of nearly 390,000 adults and 400,000 younger people.
