The tweet has come a day after Brosnan saying that the tobacco company cheated him by not disclosing the hazardous nature of the product.

The James Bond actor, who had appeared in the surrogate advertisement of Paan Bahar, wrote a letter to the Delhi State Tobacco Central Control claiming that ge was cheated about the nature of the product and was kept in the dark about how much harmful these products were.

SK Arora, Additional Director (Health), says Brosnan has given an undertaking in writing that he would never assist any such company for indirect or illegal promotions.
