World No Tobacco Day: Health hazards of tobacco consumption | Health Jockey: "t’s a common sight. Right on the sign which says ‘Do Not Spit Here’, the ‘NOT’ is covered by a dark red colored layer of a mixture of chewed betel leaves and tobacco defying the very purpose of the sign being there. In a country with a population of 1.21 billion people, of which not just the 623.7 million males chew tobacco, it’s no surprise. So what exactly does World No Tobacco Day mean in such a scenario?"
There is a full report on this on the WHO site for the year 2010-2011.
