Bangalore Institute of Dental Sciences& Hospital and Postgraduate Research Centre along with its budding dentists observed “World No Tobacco Day” on 31 May 2017 to draw attention to the widespread prevalence of Tobacco use and its ill effects. This Institution has always been a part of this global observance to create a unified global message for World No Tobacco Day. The Department of Public Health Dentistry, Oral Medicine & Radiology and Oral Pathology joined hands together to fight the Tobacco epidemic by organizing various activities. The postgraduate students submitted posters to the Karnataka Cancer Society on the theme “Tobacco- a threat to development” to highlight the scourge tobacco use has posed on the development of the country. Also an Anti-tobacco counselling program was carried out in the college which was inaugurated by our director Dr. Swaira Rao for all the out-patients. They were educated about the ill effects of Tobacco using audio-visual presentations and personal interview sessions and motivated to gradually quit the habit. A street play was performed by the dental postgraduates and interns in the KSRTC satellite Mysore bus stand where a program for Anti-Tobacco Day was organized by The Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation. The audience cheered and pledged that “smoking is injurious not only for me but for the people around me, so I will quit smoke not only for my sake but for my people”. Also an awareness camp on Tobacco Cessation was conducted with the collaboration of Centre for Addiction Medicine, NIMHANS in Gundappa colony, Byrasandra, Bengaluru which focused on the impact of chewing tobacco on the health of women. Around 30 patients were screened for Oral Cancer/ Precancer lesions and referred to our institution for the needful. The dentists laid stress on the tobacco menace and the patients followed suit. The program was a joint effort of the Heads of the Departments, faculty members and students and was a grand success.
