ABSTRACT:
Tobacco consumption is a serious health concern and a major problem in India due to its devastating impact to the poor section of society. Effective control on tobacco use must be the priority, both as an approach to eradicate poverty and a health concern. Use of tobacco is deeply entrenched as a cultural practice as it is consumed in different forms. This study is aimed to discuss the economic impact on tobacco use in India along with adverse health consequences. In order to fulfil this objective, this study is based on secondary data collected from various sources like recent studies published in peer-reviewed journals, government reports, records, and media sources. Tobacco consumption is constantly rising irrespective of having tobacco control policy. More aggressive and popular anti-tobacco campaigns are required to improve public awareness of harms caused by tobacco and active engagements of health experts and worksites to encourage tobacco cessation. Either consumed smoke less or as smoke, tobacco is toxic to human body. Tobacco kills over 6.4 million people every year globally, and death toll is rising significantly. Tobacco consumption has been associated with different factors like culture, geographical changes, and other factors. Tobacco was once known as a taboo. With the commercialization and advancements of modern world, it has been common among adults and teenagers.
