Barrister Shameem Haider Patwary, Member of Parliament from Bangladesh, was in conversation with CNS Managing Editor Shobha Shukla, at the 3rd Summit of Asia Pacific Cities Alliance for Tobacco Control and Prevention of Non-Communicable Diseases (AP-CAT) in Singapore (4-6 December 2018).

Catastrophic healthcare cost is the biggest obstacle to development in Bangladesh. Tobacco is preventable epidemic, says Shameem Haider Patwary, and ending tobacco use will significantly prevent huge disease burden and untimely deaths from non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) like heart diseases and stroke, cancers, diabetes, chronic respiratory diseases, among others.
