The awareness of tobacco is well appreciated in the society as we today in the society experience the effects of tobacco. Tobacco smoke is a cause of many diseases such as lung cancer, heart disease, and respiratory troubles. Thirdly, second hand Smoke can also affect the people in the environment, the children or non-smoking people. Use of education is considered one of the most effective approaches in creating tobacco awareness. It contains nicotine which is the most harmful and highly addictive substance of tobacco.
For the change, I have volunteered in this campaign ,which is run by official government hospitals of India known as Civil hospitals, to give speech regarding harmful effect and circumstances of tobacco intake along with my Mom; who is associate professor and head of blood bank in civil hospitals; Having doctor parents has always made me close to health-related stuff and active campaigns regarding the same.
In this camp we have decided to educate high school students in as many school as we can in rural area.
Rural areas in India have always been prominent places for tobacco and other harmful substances thus providing a solid reason for the camp to start from a rural area.
