Tobacco Free Generation A To***co Control Initiative by MANT

Effective implementation of to***co control alone could save five million lives from to***co related deaths in 23 low and middle-income countries, including India. The World Health Organization's (WHO) Global To***co Control Report suggests that that mass media campaigns successfully motivated smokeless to***co users to attempt to quit at the cost of just Rs 5 ($0.07) per person. We at MANT have

been facilitating the enforcement of the to***co laws with a major focus on Smoking Ban on Public Places in the 5 districts - Kolkata, Howrah, Purulia, Bankura and Paschim Medinipur through advocacy, sensitization, one-to one meet, visiting places and by generating awareness.
