To highlight the health risks associated with tobacco use, WORLD NO TOBACCO DAY, designated by the World Health Organization is observed every year on May 31, 2019. In SNS Vidya Mandir School the students were explained the harmful effects of smoking and other tobacco products.
Anti Tobacco Campaign was started by the school by participating in WORLD NO TOBACCO DAY CELEBRATION under different activities. The students designed thought provoking posters in "Poster Making Competition" organized for Class V. The selected posters were displayed at the soft boards of the school.
TOBACCO KILLS IN ANY FORM OR DISGUISE. The students of class IX & X described how packaging can curb the initial thought of trying tobacco products because of the increased health warnings and gruesome pictures of diseases caused by tobacco. An informative talk was also given by Ms. Shakti Sharma, wherein she shared some statistics about tobacco use in India along with what really tobacco is, its effects on the nervous system, its physical effects and its effects on our academics and social life. Lastly, she also briefed about plain packaging and how that can reduce the sale of tobacco products, especially in adolescents.
The response of the students was overwhelming . This initiative is one drop in the ocean of information to create awareness and empowering adolescents who will prepare themselves to combat this devil of tobacco use with ease.
