Promotion Of Smoking For Children In Byomkesh Bakshi

Looks like the United Front government in 1997 had no qualms in promoting smoking among children. They used the most popular sleuth icon of the 90s to do so. 

Below is a scene from Byomkesh Bakshi, Season 2, Episode “Balak Jasoos” telecast in 1997 on the state-owned Doordarshan. Sadly, it is still officially made freely available by the broadcaster on YouTube.

Sadly, even @DDNational under United Front would promote smoking among children. Here is a scene from Byomkesh Bakshi Season 2 Episode "Balak Jasoos" telecast in 1997
