India Targets 100 Districts to Curb Smokeless Tobacco Use

In India, chewing tobacco is a big health problem.

The government is focusing on 100 areas where many people use chewing tobacco to help them stop.

These areas have been chosen because they have a lot of users.

The plan includes special teams to enforce laws, more healthcare support, and community programs to help people quit.

Companies will also be responsible for dealing with the waste from their products.

The goal is to lower the number of people who use tobacco, which will reduce deaths from diseases like cancer.
