Tobacco is an addiction, it can be reduced by awareness: Vijendra Gupta

New -Delhi, May 31 (IANS). At the global tobacco ban day, Walkathon was arranged in the Rohini area in Delhi on Saturday to bring slogans such as ‘Walk for Life’ and ‘Tobacco stopped’ to the masses. During this time, the Speaker of the Delhi meeting, Viendra Gupta, was present and people placed on special emphasis on leaving tobacco. He flew for Walk for Life. Through this Walkthan, many members of the Indian Medical Association and doctors of the Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute and Research Center have provided information on the problems of tobacco among people. Delhi meeting speaker Vijendra Gupta said with the media that tobacco is not only intoxication, but that it is a poison. He said tobacco is an addiction and that it can only be reduced by awareness. During this time, he gave special emphasis on the youth, saying that the younger generation of today used drugs as a fashion, which must explain how harmful tobacco can be for their health. He said there is a need to tell the youth of the fatal results of tobacco and make them aware. For this, social institutions and institutes must emerge. The government sets laws to prevent such things and takes many steps. But to public sentiment, mass movement and public cooperation, this battle cannot be won. At the same time, the Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute and the Medical Director of the Research Center, Dr. Sudhir Rawal, said tobacco is an important factor of cancer. If you do not consume tobacco, it can reduce the chances of cancer. It affects the entire body. Not to take tobacco increases age. If you smoke a cigarette, your life reduces three to four minutes. In such a situation, tobacco should not be taken in any form. People need to be aware of this. Children should be handled in teen age. Some children begin to consume it because of curiosity about what is in it. Later, children get used to it. -Ians Ash/As Share This Story Tags
