Our Story
SMOKE FREE INDIA was founded with the belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to live a healthy, tobacco-free life. Recognizing the immense public health challenge posed by tobacco use in India, we set out to create a platform that not only offers support but also drives meaningful change in tobacco control policies. Our initiative is deeply rooted in the personal experiences of former tobacco users, healthcare professionals, and policy influencers who understand the complexities of tobacco addiction and the challenges of quitting.
The Challenge We Face
India is home to over 267 million tobacco users, making it one of the largest populations of tobacco consumers in the world. This alarming statistic is coupled with the fact that nearly one million people in India die each year from tobacco-related illnesses. The diverse forms of tobacco use, including traditional practices like bidi smoking, alongside modern cigarettes, create a unique challenge in addressing tobacco addiction in the country.
SMOKE FREE INDIA is dedicated to tackling this challenge head-on by offering a patient-centered approach to quitting, tailored to the unique needs of India’s diverse population.
