| Tobacco Control > VHAI’s current Tobacco Control initiatives |
|
|
Tobacco control needs a multidimensional approach.
Since health is a state subject, active advocacy with state Governments is crucial. VHAI is presently implementing a comprehensive tobacco control programme in Delhi and across 9 states of India to strengthen the anti-tobacco movement in the country.
This includes policy and media advocacy, research, capacity-building, networking, coalition-building, formation of national and state level resource centers with help lines, lobbying with enforcement agencies, reporting of legislative violations, forming smoke-free zones and development of advocacy materials. |
