Mysuru: The consumption of tobacco inducing cancer is on the rise and every year 60 lakh people die in the world and 27,000 people in India, due to tobacco consumption. At least now, people should become alert and give up consuming tobacco, said Principle District and Sessions Judge S.K. Vontigodi.
He was speaking after inaugurating the ‘World Anti-Tobacco Day’ programme, organised jointly by the District Administration, District Health and Family Welfare Department, District Legal Services Authority and Indian Medical Association at Rajendra Bhavan in JSS Hospital premises, here recently.
