Teachers have a role in tobacco control


Someone has rightly said, 'Teachers touch the future.' Teachers have an undeniable role in moulding the lives of children and in training them to grow up as responsible citizens!

Harnessing the supreme influence of teachers in the development of children is the Kerala Government Order that empowers Principals to monitor the sale of tobacco products around educational institutions. Teachers have also been directed to educate children on the harmful effects of tobacco products like the pan masala.


A news story on the role of teachers, which stemmed from this Order, was carried in the Thiruvananthapuram edition of the New Indian Express on December 24, 2011.
