Student will help addicts quit the habit
The government has introduced an anti-tobacco campaign in schools under the tobacco-free Delhi initiative, as part of which the students will be encouraged to adopt at least one tobacco user and help him/her quit the habit.
‘One for one’
The campaign is titled “1 for 1” and hopes to make a chain of quitters through the initiative.
In a circular issued to the heads of all schools under the Directorate of Education, the government said, “Tobacco is the only consumer product which kills half of its users and the tobacco epidemic is one of the biggest public health threats that the world has ever faced, killing more than seven million people a year.”
It also stated that smokers who are aware of the tobacco dangers are the ones who want to quit the most. But we still lack adequate tobacco cessation assistance in India. Therefore, a helping hand to the tobacco users can be provided by the community through the adoption programme.
It is a voluntary initiative in which students will have to adopt a tobacco user from a network of family, relatives, friends, officer, servant, driver, gardener, security guards, etc., and help them quit the addiction, read the circular.
“By helping them, you will be protecting yourself also from the menace of passive smoking as these people in your surroundings are the sources of the second-hand smoking,” the government said in a message to students.
