Govt should withdraw gutka ads on Kadamba buses

It is really astonishing to observe the Kadamba buses of the Goa government undertaking advertising gutka which is a harmful product and if taken regularly causes life threatening diseases like cancer. The Goa government by advertising the tobacco product may get revenue but indirectly the advertising is promoting the tobacco product with the help of famous Hindi filmstars and the younger generation emulating the stars thinking that they are also using the same.  Hence the Goa government should withdraw the advertisement on the Kadamba buses to save the lives of Goans especially children who will be more addicted to this tobacco vice just like smoking. I hope NOTE, the organisation against tobacco takes cognizance of the advertisement and acts as per the law of the land to ban such advertisement which had caused agony to the Indian families who have been diagnosed with cancer and unable to procure the medicines which are beyond the reach of the common man. Another advertisement I noticed on the Kadamba buses is Goa government promoting Karnataka tourism with advertisement on the buses but does our government do the same on KRSTC buses?
