31 May 2026 | Dr. Abhinav Rastogi, Consultant Psychiatrist | DMHP Shahjahanpur
Aaj 31 May — World No Tobacco Day 2026 — ke avsar par, District Mental Health Programme (DMHP), Shahjahanpur ne BHOR Foundation ke saath milkar ek vishesh jagrukta shivir ka aayojan kiya — Shahjahanpur ke NCC Cadets ke liye.
Is program mein do khaas kaam hue:
Pehla — Commanding Officer ka address, jisme cadets ko Tobacco-Free India ke liye unki zimmedari se avagat karaya gaya.
Doosra — Nukkad Natak. BHOR Foundation aur DMHP team ne milkar ek live street play perform kiya, jo tobacco industry ke manipulation tactics ko seedhi aur saral bhasha mein dikhata hai.
Is Saal Ka WHO Theme: “Unmasking the Appeal”
World No Tobacco Day 2026 ka theme hai —
“Unmasking the Appeal: Countering Nicotine and Tobacco Addiction.”
Yeh sirf cigarette ke khatron ki baat nahi hai.
Yeh un naye aur attractive products ki baat hai — flavoured vapes, nicotine pouches aur fancy hookah lounges — jo khaaskar teenagers aur young adults ko target karke design kiye ja rahe hain.
Duniya mein aaj 4 crore se zyada 13–15 saal ke bachche tobacco ya nicotine products use kar rahe hain.
Yeh accident nahi hai.
Yeh ek industry ki carefully planned strategy hai.
Cadets Ko Kyun?
NCC cadets — kal ke leaders, kal ki fauj aur kal ka India.
Unka body unka sabse powerful tool hai.
Aur tobacco industry unhe exactly usi umar mein target karti hai jab identity ban rahi hoti hai. Jab “cool” dikhna zaroori lagta hai. Jab peer pressure sabse zyada kaam karta hai.
Is program ka maksad tha —
Cadets ko consumer nahi, critical thinker banana.
Nukkad Natak: Seedha Dil Tak
BHOR Foundation ke kalaakaron ne ek powerful performance di.
Natak mein dikhaya gaya ki kaise ek young boy peer pressure mein pehle ek “harmless” flavoured vape try karta hai aur dheere-dheere woh ek aadat mein badal jaata hai.
Koi lecture nahi.
Koi boring slide nahi.
Sirf ek kahani — jo har ek cadet ne apne aas-paas kahin na kahin dekhi hai.
Nukkad natak ka yeh format hamesha se DMHP ki outreach strategy ka core raha hai, kyunki art wahan pahunchti hai jahan awareness campaigns nahi pahunchte.
Ek Fact Jo Aapko Pata Hona Chahiye
Hookah = 100+ Cigarettes (Ek Session Mein)
Yeh myth ki hookah “safe” hai kyunki paani se filter hota hai — bilkul galat hai.
Paani smoke volume kam nahi karta. Yeh sirf uska temperature thoda kam karta hai.
Isi tarah flavoured vapes ko bhi safe alternative ke roop mein dikhaya jaata hai.
Lekin sach yeh hai ki India mein e-cigarettes aur vaping products PECA 2019 ke tahat banned hain.
Phir bhi yeh products underground market mein aasaani se mil jaate hain.
Tobacco Addiction Sirf Ek Physical Habit Nahi
Tobacco addiction sirf nicotine ki baat nahi hai.
Yeh aksar stress, anxiety aur peer acceptance ki zaroorat se janam leti hai.
Isi liye psychiatry aur de-addiction dono ko saath lekar chalna zaroori hai.
Agar hum addiction ke emotional aur psychological pehlu ko nahi samjhenge, to treatment adhura reh jayega.
Ek Tobacco-Free Bharat Ki Ore
World No Tobacco Day sirf ek awareness day nahi hai.
Yeh ek reminder hai ki hum sabki zimmedari hai ki hum apne yuvaon ko misinformation aur addiction se bachayein.
Aaj ke NCC cadets kal ke responsible citizens hain.
Aur unki awareness hi ek tobacco-free India ki sabse mazboot neev ban sakti hai.
