Abstract: The tobacco epidemic creates devastating health, social, and economic impacts on countries. South Asia has been one of the main regions tampered in the vicious circle of poverty while suffering from the tobacco epidemic. The cost of tobacco appears as one of the main barriers in the region to achieve development. Therefore, reducing tobacco burden would help in achieving both health and development goals in the region.
