World anti Tobacco day was observed in chennai by forming a human chain.

In Uttar Pradesh, there are two cities namely Mainpuri and Agra badly affected by tobacco use. Cigarette smoking is less prevalent. There is affect of ban on smoking in public places. However, the tobacco powder in small packets (Gutkha) is very prevalent in U.P. Worst sufferers of Mainpuri and Agra. Nearly fifty patients of mouth cancer daily go to local S.N. Hospital. If we consider private hospitals also, the number may be much more. Astonishingly, the Gutkha chewers are witnessed everywhere- offices, parks, shops, auto taxis. There is no ban on tobacco in public places in powder packs (Gutkha). Others also do not object as there is no smoke.
