DODA: On the directions of Deputy Commissioner Harvinder Singh and under the supervision of District Social Welfare Officer (DSWO), Zubair Ahmed, the Sankalp Hub for Empowerment of Women organized an Awareness Camp on Tobacco Free Youth Campaign 3.0 (TFYC 3.0) at Government Degree College Doda.
The Tobacco Free Youth Campaign 3.0, launched nationwide today aims to raise awareness among young people about the harmful effects of tobacco use and to promote a tobacco-free learning environment in educational institutions across India. The primary objective of the event was to educate students on safeguarding their health and contributing to the well-being of society.
The Sankalp Hub team hosted an informative and interactive session highlighting the severe health risks associated with tobacco consumption, including cancer, heart and lung diseases and addiction. The resource persons emphasized that tobacco not only deteriorates physical health but also has emotional, social and financial consequences for families, thereby threatening the nation’s future by fostering unhealthy habits among the youth.
Speakers at the event urged students to understand how tobacco use reduces life expectancy, hampers productivity and deprives individuals of their potential, dreams and happiness. Participants were motivated to take a pledge to stay away from tobacco and to act as youth ambassadors in spreading the message of a healthy, tobacco-free society.
