Chandigarh 31 May ( Ranjeet Singh Dhaliwal ) : On this World No Tobacco Day, Max Super Speciality Hospital, Mohali, raises awareness about the serious health risks associated with tobacco use and urges individuals to adopt a tobacco-free lifestyle for a healthier future. Dr. Sachin Gupta, Director Medical and Pediatric Oncology, Max Super Speciality Hospital, Mohali, while emphasizing the dire consequences of tobacco said, "Tobacco remains the leading cause of preventable deaths globally, claiming millions of lives each year. Its harmful ingredients and highly addictive nature, particularly nicotine, poses severe health risks. Tobacco consumption is directly linked to an increased risk of various cancers especially lungs, mouth, and throat as well as cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes. It also severely compromises respiratory health, often leading to chronic conditions like COPD.” Further, Dr. Gupta added, "Quitting tobacco is not easy, but it is possible with the right support, medical counseling, nicotine replacement therapies, and lifestyle modifications can significantly help people break free from tobacco addiction. Early intervention plays a key role in improving long-term health outcomes. We urge everyone to educate themselves and others about the dangers of tobacco and take proactive steps toward quitting." Max Super Speciality Hospital, Mohali, encourages individuals to prioritise their well-being by staying away from tobacco and advocating for smoke-free environments. By spreading awareness and offering support, we can reduce the burden of tobacco-related diseases and work towards building a healthier, tobacco-free society.
