Tobacco Free Kerala condoles demise of Speaker


Tobacco Free Kerala condoles the passing away of Hon'ble Speaker of the Kerala Legislative Assembly Shri G Karthikeyan. 


A tobacco control enthusiast, the Speaker had taken pains to understand and share the grief of tobacco-induced cancer victims during an interaction with them on 20 May 2014. 


He had called for more proactive interventions to bring down tobacco use in the state and assured all support for bringing down the disease burden due to tobacco use in Kerala.

Shri Karthikeyan, 66, died on 7 March in a hospital in Bangalore, where he was undergoing treatment for liver cancer.
