JAIPUR: To mark World Tobacco Day on May 31, the health department is preparing to launch a massive campaign to encourage people to take a pledge not to consume tobacco. In 2019, Rajasthan had set a record in which over 1.13-crore people had taken a pledge not to consume tobacco. This year, it is targeting 2-crore people.
Since tobacco is one of the major causes of cancer, the health department is discouraging consumption of tobacco in any form — smoking and chewing — as part of tobacco-free initiative.
