The advocates emphasised that the amendments are critical to achieving a tobacco-free Bangladesh and protecting future generations. A key point of contention for the youth forum was a recent meeting between the Advisory Committee and tobacco companies, which they condemned as a direct violation of Article 5.3 of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC). The advocates stressed that as a signatory, Bangladesh is obligated to keep its tobacco control policies free from industry influence. The event saw participation from more than a hundred anti-tobacco youth advocates from prominent educational institutions, including Dhaka University, Jahangirnagar University and Jagannath University. Following the protest, the DORP Youth Forum submitted a memorandum detailing their demands to the Chairman of the National Board of Revenue.
