How did we make difference?

Our group decided to start awareness from our home and neighbourhood,.. Though it was a tough job of convincing our family members about the ill effects of tobacco/gutka or cigarette, we succeeded at last..

Here are the few examples:-

Chain Smoker to one cigarette

Mansi’s father was a chain smoker. She convinced her father about the harmful effects of smoking and requested him that she would be giving him one cigarette daily and he would not touch his packet for the whole day. This arrangement is being successfully followed since the commencement of this project.

Gutka to Sukhda

Surbhi’s grandfather was addicted to gutka. She talked to him in detail about the harmful effects of using gutka and convinced him to stop. She gets the packets of Sukhda from the Gujarat Cancer Society and sees to it that her dadaji uses only Sukhda and not the gutka.

Sigh of Relief

Baldevbhai, a fruit vendor, who regularly visited Pooja's house, was a regular user of the gutka. The continuous and persistent explanation of the fact of harmfulness of using gutka has helped him get rid of this habit. He is so thankful that he was made aware of the menace of gutka at the right time and he is saved of undergoing any complication later in his life.
