The articles from Tribune Latest and Daily The Patriot, along with a YouTube discussion, highlight two pressing issues in Pakistan: the proliferation of illicit smokeless tobacco and a looming water crisis. Tribune Latest describes the infiltration of Indian-manufactured smokeless tobacco products like Safina into Pakistani markets as a 'silent war' that is devastating public health and the economy. The article states, 'oral cancer wards in public hospitals continue to swell,' emphasizing the severe health implications. The cross-border nature of this issue is underscored by the fact that India has imposed restrictions on these products domestically, yet they are smuggled into Pakistan, creating what the article terms a 'hybrid harm' scenario. This situation is not only a public health crisis but also a structural assault on Pakistan's social fabric, with long-term economic losses far outweighing the short-term profits for smugglers.
