Tobacco use is a leading cause of preventable deaths all over the world. India too is fighting against the same cause for deaths. Awareness is being created, actions are being taken for tobacco cessation but still the efforts are failed. Tobacco cessation has become a need of an hour for controlling major diseases and preventable deaths in the country. Thus tobacco cessation is a practice for every health care professional to control large number of deaths due to use of tobacco.
Tobacco cessation, awareness, public health challenge
