This study explores the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act of 1985 (NDPS Act) and its enforcement in South India. It provides a nuanced understanding of the Act's application through an analysis of legal provisions, case studies, and regional practices. The research focuses on regulatory frameworks, law enforcement strategies, and the societal impact of drug control policies in the southern states of India, highlighting the multifaceted nature of these policies. The findings emphasize the importance of context- specific approaches in drug regulation and enforcement. The NDPS Act, enacted by the Government of India, addresses the illicit trafficking and abuse of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances. It regulates activities related to these substances, including production, manufacture, possession, sale, purchase, transport, warehousing, use, consumption, and inter-state and international trade. This comprehensive legislation plays a crucial role in shaping drug control strategies and has significant implications for both legal enforcement and social dynamics within the region.

“…Mass media, particularly digital platforms; TV and internet ads, have had a considerable impact on people's adoption of a healthy lifestyle as confirmed in various studies (Etemad K, Ebrahimi P, Azimi H, Lotfi M, Nojomi M. A., 2016;Huang L, Mehta K, Wong M., 2011). However, the survival of the current market is severe because large numbers of manufactures compete with various kinds of products and services (Hassali, Mohamed & Shakeel, Sadia., 2020). An effective strategy in product positioning can improve business sales (Ertemel, Adnan Veysel & Ammoura, Ahmad, 2019).…”

In a pandemic, there are no egalitarians because all citizens cannot treat equally, and a failure to consider ethical concerns before taking action led to a massive and preventable loss of life. As a result of the pandemic, there is a strong ethical or moral imperative to consider how to help the most generous people usage healthy products. Utilitarianism and Kantian have become popular ethical theories that state the right actions that layout clear and actionable principles. This paper reviews (1) how Utilitarianism and Kantianism theories could produce benefit arguments on ethical purchases of cosmetic products from an advertising context, (2) how these theories contributed in the context of COVID-19 to help reduce any harmful health issues via advertising, and (3) Utilitarianism and Kantian theories have proven useful during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to case studies of cosmetics products and advertising in Western and Asian contexts. In addition to these two ethical theories, this paper discussed other issues. The purpose is not to argue which theory is the only relevant ethical theory but to contend with pure utilitarianism. Kantian's finding was similar to the topic argument in other ways. However, both theories reviewed as the most effective way to help societies identify and perceive the necessary costs of goods values. Before adopting utilitarian or Kantian theories, the community must clearly understand these two theories' merit values in product advertising. In such a crisis, ethical theories practices should implement in all areas because ethical challenges would determine whether or not advertisers around the world adhered to ethical standards in devising new and innovative marketing strategies, practices, or tactics for the transition to this new norm.
