Experts Condemn Beedi Tax Cut, Warn of Health Crisis

The government lowered the tax on beedis, a type of cigarette, making them cheaper.

Health experts are worried this will cause more people, especially the poor, to smoke them.

Beedis are very harmful and cause serious illnesses like cancer and heart problems.

The experts believe cheaper beedis will lead to more health issues.

They want the government to tax all tobacco products the same way, to discourage people from using them and protect public health.
