Vaping continues to pose irreversible dangers for society with new-age gateway products using innovative marketing techniques to lure children and youngsters.
According to the latest estimates in the World Health Organization (WHO) tobacco trends report, there are 1.25 billion adult tobacco users in the world.
A tobacco distributor of East Burdwan was rescued by the police from the clutches of the kidnappers within 24 hours of abduction from a Jharkhand location yesterday.
Picture this: with winter around the corner, there is a slight chill in the air. Coupled with the alarming levels of pollution which have forced everyone indoors, it’s the ideal time to curl up on your couch and binge watch your favourite web-series, which has eight short episodes of 30 minutes each.
Tobacco use continues to be a major contributor to the global burden of disease, causing an estimated 12 per cent of deaths worldwide among people below 30 years of age.
Death of over 8 million people and widespread destruction of environment, through cultivation, production, distribution, consumption, and post-consumer waste, is a huge cost we are paying due to tobacco consumption, says World Health organization (WHO).
A significant raise in taxes and implementing the proposed amendments for a stricter anti-tobacco law, COTPA, are the way forward to curbing tobacco consumption.
The 17 years of working of COTPA was useful to a certain extent in defying the tobacco industry’s tactics to advertise and promote tobacco use in India. However, in spite of the Government’s best efforts to effectively enforce the law and civil society’s efforts to ensure that violations are adequately reported, the industry has been able to target, especially children, through their indirect promotion tactics.
Efforts to strengthen tobacco control in India were fortified by enacting Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products (Prohibition of Advertisement and Regulation of Trade and Commerce, Production, Supply and Distribution) Act [‘COTPA’] in 2003 and ratification of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control [‘FCTC’] in 2004.
