TOBACCO WATER - HIDDEN KILLER IN THE NORTH EAST INDIA!
Journal Title: INNOVATIVE JOURNAL OF MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCE - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 12
Abstract
Usage of tobacco is a global epidemic regardless of age and sex, and all the nitty-gritty of its harmfulness has been documented, taught and spread to every nook and cranny, it is still being considered a social status as a ‘cool quotient’ especially in youth. While, 8-9 lakh deaths every year in India are attributed to have caused by tobacco in varied forms, having a significant implication in the nation’s public health, the use of smokeless tobacco, highly prevalent in India - accounting for 74 percent of the global burden, and exceeds cigarette smoking in both men and women, is to be worried much about too.
