This Diwali greatest Gift for Tobacco Chewer – TrisCaRe

CAN NOT ENJOY FOOD DUE TO TRISMUS Caused by PAAN MASALA

This Diwali greatest Gift for Tobacco Chewer – TRISCaRe

Mr. Anil Joshi a regular tobacco user for 12 years when he visited MAX-ICanCaRe Oral Care and Tobacco Cessation Centre at MAX Vaishali, 3 months back he was all fears that he must have developed cancer in the oral cavity. His mouth opening was just 1.5 fingers around 2 cm and has been decreasing over a period of time.

At the center he was examined thoroughly, certain procedures were conducted, and were declared that he does not have cancer! His oral cavity was cleaned, tobacco stains removed and for his mouth opening, he was given a special instrument TRISCaRe and training to use it regularly.

Dr. Harshita Pandey, Certified Tobacco Cessation Specialist and in charge of the center says all those who take tobacco is not necessary will have cancer, however they develop specific changes in the oral cavity that needs to be taken care of. One of the commonest problems tobacco users have is decreased mouth opening. We examine and treat them and give them TRISCaRe, the innovative mouth-opening device.

Mr. Anil has a mouth opening of 3.2 cm and says he is happy that he would be able to enjoy eating golgappas, laddoos, and rasagollas this Diwali thanks to the doctors at MAX-ICanCaRe Oral Care and Tobacco Cessation center. Now I am completely tobacco-free and glad I have no cancer. This is the greatest Diwali gift I got!

Dr. Pawan Gupta M.Ch., Director, Cancer Surgery, at MAX Institute of Cancer Care, who designed and patented TrisCaRe says this simple instrument is the greatest gift for tobacco chewers. Lots of brainstorming was done to make TrisCaRe although the design and prelim model was introduced in 2010, that would fail the test of pressure required to open the mouth – either teeth would break or the instrument would break. The present material used has now stood the test on thousands of patients and is working wonders. TrisCaRe is, the Innovative Mouth Opening Device is ergonomically designed, Screw type, Broad Dental Plate, Measurement Scale for trismus measurement, and POLYOXYMETHYLENE material with good fatigue resistance.

He is happy for patients like Anil who have benefitted from his instrument TrisCaRe and Oral CaRe program.

ICanCaRe with its innovative tobacco cessation and oral care program has been benefitting thousands of tobacco users across India. Program is available virtual and also physical at ICanCaRe direct or trained Specialist centers.

EMPOWERING WITH KNOWLEDGE, COLLABORATING TO ENHANCE THE REACH with this in mind Dr. Satinder Nijjar led this meeting as the Chairman, involving all the club Presidents of her district. Tobacco is bad it is general knowledge now, but knowing about it deeply increases the power to convince others. Collaborating and piggybacking on experts can enhance our reach. Empowering so that one can in turn reach out to the masses is the way forward to controlling this dreaded disease.

Mrs. Sonal Bhatia Inner Wheel AC member who achieved the feat of 1000 tobacco Marshals during her tenure as DC of district 310 in 2021-22 showcased her achievement, and the enthusiastic response of presidents to get involved in SAVE the Youth campaign and become tobacco MARSHALs themselves.

The tobacco MARSHAL of 310 have extensively worked in society and conducted numerous programs themselves in their own unique way in their local area that including rallies, painting competitions, school programs, etc.

MIME and Poster making competition was showcased on the 29th of MAY 2022, followed by the National Debate on IMPACT OF WOMEN AS TOBACCO MARSHAL had national dignitaries grace the occasion had laid the foundation and deeper understanding of how to create impacts at the grass root levels. The Training of rural girls NCC cadets as MINI – TOBACCO MARSHAL and Teachers was one such step towards this goal.  But this is just a drop in the large ocean. The tobacco mafia with its willful clever surrogate advertisement is sending cues to the young minds and every day 5500 youths in India are inducted into this net of tobacco use. To control these more people have to rise against this TAMBAKU – ASUR and women are the ones who can do it. With this in mind, Mrs. Sonal Bhatia has raised her bar and intends to create 10000 TOBACCO MARSHAL amongst her inner wheel sisters.

Chief Guest, *Dr. Surjit Kaur*, Inner Wheel Association President and National Representative, herself a doctor said that the health of women should be the priority, a healthy-women means a healthy family, healthy generations, and a healthy society. Tobacco is a national Disaster causing deaths across all ages, all communities, and all social strata. It causes harm not only to the self but to the family, spouse, colleagues, and entire community. She congratulated Mrs. Sonal and Mrs. Satinder to take up this issue at a larger level. She was also really happy to get involved with ICanCaRe as they have the readymade program to escalate the same quickly at the higher level. As the President and National Representative for the Inner Wheel Club, she extended her full support for the program and urged Sonal to introduce the same in other districts as well.

Chief Speaker, *Dr. Pawan Gupta* M.Ch. Director Cancer Surgeon MAX and Founder ICanCaRe said that women are the most affected due to tobacco use in society. Women spite not consuming tobacco exposed to tobacco she is affected at the home, workplace, or even in the community. The effect is – health, social, financial, and much more. Women are the savior of their families, and the next generation as well. If she is empowered with the knowledge she gains the decision and intervention power. It is pertinent that women should rise against this product of MASS destruction. Stronger Women Make a Stronger World.

The inner wheel will rise as the main force in to fight against tobacco. Becoming Tobacco MARSHAL is a step towards this reckoning.

Sonal said she totally believes that inner wheel sisters will be the change makers for this cause and she would look forward to making 10000 Tobacco Marshals and urged all present to partner for this.

All the 140 participants enthusiastically looked forward to becoming tobacco marshals and contributing their bit to society.

To a question whether IW members should call doctors for school programs, Dr. Pawan Gupta said that once trained tobacco MARSHALs will themselves independently conduct school sensitization programs and ICanCaRe would equip them with all the necessary materials.
