We have started a series of activities to achieve the goal of making India ‘Smoke-Free’. Taking the movement forward, we organised the inaugural ‘Smoke-Free India’ event marked a watershed moment, converging passionate advocates and visionary thought leaders to tackle tobacco’s socio-economic grip. Harnessing this momentum, we spearheaded two pivotal advocacy workshops at Sharda University, Greater Noida, and Jamia Millia Islamia University, New Delhi. These empowering workshops aimed to equip students with knowledge and conviction, sparking meaningful dialogues and proactive initiatives to amplify smoking cessation awareness, backed by scientific rigor.

The response has been phenomenal! Participants eagerly embraced the cause, pledging to propel this movement forward. With overwhelming enthusiasm, inspiring student engagement and leadership, and strategic partnerships for sustained impact, we’re heading towards a brighter, healthier future.

We present here an overview of the events, which have been organised so far.
