Produktbeschreibung
Tobacco-use outcomes could be improved by school/community-based and adult education interventions, and cessation assistance, facilitated by training for health professionals and schoolteachers. Additional tobacco control measures should be assessed. Clearly, the road ahead is a long one but it's one that has to be traversed with purpose. The war on tobacco consumption must be fought both on the demand and the supply side -reducing the power of advertising to spur demand and reducing accessibility to tobacco products by increasing taxes and banning the sale of tobacco products in public places and areas accessed by minors. The Government of India has enacted and implemented various tobacco control policies at national and sub national level. But India needs to adopt a more holistic and coercive approach to fight the problems of tobacco.Effective tobacco control is possible by balanced implementation of demand and supply reduction strategies by the Government and inter-sectoral coordination involving stakeholder departments and ministries. Taxes on tobacco products should be raised and the generated revenue could be spending for the strengthening of the tobacco control program.
