Tobacco addiction often starts at a younger age. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an estimated 1.3 billion people worldwide consume tobacco.
In India, approximately 267 million adults—around 28.6% of the adult population—use tobacco in some form. Of these, 199 million use smokeless tobacco, while 100 million smoke, leading to preventable deaths.
Tobacco addiction often begins at a young age, and both tobacco and narcotic products are designed to be highly addictive.
To combat this issue, there is a global movement to raise awareness about the dangers of tobacco use. It's essential to educate children early on to promote a tobacco-free environment in schools, colleges, homes, and workplaces.
