Bangladesh ratified the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) on June 14, 2004. In 2009, the ITC Project partnered with researchers at the University of Dhaka to establish The ITC Bangladesh (BD) Survey. The ITC BD Survey has conducted four waves of adult tobacco users and non-users aged 15 and older.
