Why Covert Advertising
• You have a captive audience (they have
chosen to watch the film or
regularly tune in to the television show).
BACKGROUND: Pan masala is a comparatively recent habit in India and is marketed with and without
tobacco. Advertisements of tobacco products have been banned in India since 1st May 2004. The
advertisements of plain pan masala, which continue in Indian media, have been suspected to be surrogate for
tobacco products bearing the same name. The study was carried out to assess whether these advertisements
were for the intended product, or for tobacco products with same brand name.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The programme of a popular television Hindi news channel was watched
for a 24-h period. Programmes on the same channel and its English counterpart were watched on different
days to assess whether the advertisements were repeated. The total duration of telecast of a popular brand of
plain pan masala (Pan Parag) was multiplied by the rate charged by the channel to provide the cost of
advertisement of this product. The total sale value of the company was multiplied by the proportion of usage of
plain pan masala out of gutka plus pan masala habit as observed from a different study, to provide the annual
sale value of plain pan masala product under reference .
RESULTS: The annual sale value of plain Pan Parag was estimated to be Rs. 67.1 million. The annual cost
of the advertisement of the same product on two television channels was estimated at Rs. 244.6 million.
CONCLUSION: The advertisements of plain pan masala seen on Indian television are a surrogate for the
tobacco products bearing the same name.
