    Assessment of Consumer Protection Act 2019 to Support Tobacco Control in India
    (University of North Bengal, 2022-03) Patil, Ashok R
    The use of tobacco products has been clearly established to cause significant medical and economic harm. While specific tobacco control legislation has been enacted in the form of the COTPA 2003, it is important to examine if other legislations can be utilised for regulation of tobacco consumption. One such legislation is the Consumer Protection Act 2019, which significantly expands the rights of consumers and protection given to them in terms of product safety and product quality. Accordingly, this paper provides an in-depth analysis of the Consumer Protection Act 2019 and the scope of utilising this legislation and the jurisprudence on consumer law with the aim of effective regulation of tobacco consumption.
