Traditional Tobacco Products Pose Cancer Risks to Youth

Doctors are worried about young people in India getting cancer from tobacco.

They say cigarettes, bidis, and chewing tobacco are causing many cases of lung, mouth, and throat cancer.

Even though new types of tobacco products are talked about a lot, the older types are causing more problems.

Over 8% of students are using tobacco.

These traditional products are easily available and often accepted in certain communities.

The doctors want more programs in schools and stricter rules to protect kids from these dangerous products.

They emphasize that tobacco use is a proven killer and especially harmful to young people.
