Youth are of special concern
Why Youth?

Impact of first WNTD
Interference of tobacco
companies
They include:
•Manufactures
•Whole sale distributors
•Importers
Tobacco industries –
Enemies of Nation
Because
• Continue to book profit for life
• It’s own expansion before health of future
generation.
• Own economic gain before the developing
& struggling countries.
Tobacco industries – lure the
innocent public
• By launching new weapon disguised as Less
harmful
• NEW products WITH MORE SAFETY
• BY LIGHT, MILD AND LOW TAR CIGARETTE
CAMPAIGN.
• Providing more attractive
packets.
• Giving healthier names
• Providing fruity flavors.
But
Poison is poison
In
Any form
Chewing Tobacco
– Equivalent to
DEATH
Luring People By
Advertisements
Two critical messages to understand
1. Tobacco marketing can contribute to disability &
death
2. Complete ban on advertisements/
sponsorship/promotion by industry are highly
effective
“Banreduces experimentation& initiation”

Expense of your life!!!

attention
