The analysis of data was done through grounded theory approachResult: The implementation of the banhas not been effective in controlling tobacco use. It has given rise to price rise and increased black marketing, affecting greatly on the financially poor tobacco users.Conclusion: Any effort to ban tobacco products without effective implementation does not necessarily help users to quit, nor does it prevent new users from the uptake. Therefore, any futureattempt isadvised to have proper and systematic plans along with other intervention strategies
