Tobacco – the leading cause of avoidable mortality in India
The initiative’s objective is to promote public awareness about the risks of tobacco use by encouraging citizen mobilisation at all levels of society. Every day, about 3500 Indians die as a result of tobacco use.
The TFC campaign was launched on May 31, 2017, on “World No Tobacco Day.†CCF collaborated with the NCC and eventually established partnerships with 13 colleges within Coimbatore city limits, where NCC students were taught and the TFC project was carried out in four phases.
