The video discusses the concept of surrogate advertising, where companies use the same brand name and tagline for different products to confuse consumers and create brand recall. The speaker mentions that this practice is often used in the context of tobacco and alcohol products, which are banned in many countries due to their harmful effects.
The speaker explains that companies have found ways to circumvent these bans by removing tobacco from their products and selling them as tobacco-free. They then sell the tobacco separately in a different packet. The speaker argues that this is a loophole in the regulation that bans tobacco and nicotine-containing products.
The speaker also points out that these companies have been found to be dishonest in their advertising, claiming that their products are nicotine-free when they contain nicotine. They also use harmful chemicals like magnesium carbonate in their products.
The speaker criticizes the Advertisement Standards Council of India (ASCI) for not enforcing the laws effectively against surrogate advertising. They argue that the laws should be strengthened to prevent companies from using the same brand name for different products, and that celebrities who advertise these products should also be held accountable.
The speaker concludes by urging viewers to speak out against such advertising and to send messages to celebrities who advertise harmful products. They express hope that their video will lead to positive changes in the country regarding these issues.
