The management of the Institute recognizes the fact that tobacco is destroying the youth and their future, this issue has to be addressed and inculcated into the minds of all the youths joining technical Institutions from the beginning. For this purpose, the KIET group of Institutions has partnered with ICanCaRe to enforce a tobacco-free zone at KIET.

In the words of the Director, Dr. A. Garg – “Youths are the future of tomorrow, their health is of prime importance in the Country. Tobacco is the biggest killer of the present era, unknowingly students get into this vice. We at KIET wish to create awareness as part of the SAVE the youth campaign. With Tobacco MARSHAL on the campus, it is going to make a difference in society.”

Dr. Pawan Gupta founder of ICanCaRe “TOBACCO MARSHALs are a deterrent against tobacco use on the campus. Tobacco control is a program in the continuum, it has to be persistent efforts and not a once-a-year program.”

Mrs. Sonal Bhatia the women leader for SAVE the youth campaign – “TOBACCO MARSHALs are the influencers in society, they are the SAVIOURS. It is a prestige and a recognition of personal social responsibility.” Sonal Bhatia is an Association Council member of the World’s Largest Women’s Organization – INNER WHEEL Club. She says, “Women are the biggest sufferer due to tobacco – health, social, financial, sexual, and family life is destroyed due to tobacco use by spouses. Every woman should be a TOBACCO MARSHAL”.

Dr. Reena Kumar, Academic Director of ICanCaRe warned – “BE CAREFUL and FEARFUL of the tobacco users around you, BE SMART and DO NOT START, EMPOWER yourself as TOBACCO MARSHALs. SAVE yourself and save others. It is so much welcome to have tobacco MARSHAL at KIET and it will set an example for other Institutes of the University.”

Dr. Rakesh Gupta, President Sipher, talked about being careful for new gadgets like e-cigarettes which are enticing the youth. They are banned in India and severe punishments are in force under the PECA law.

Dr. Pawan Gupta suggested the following as mentioned in his book – “HOW TO MAKE A INSTITUTION TOBACCO FREE” and ICanCaRe as a complete solution provider for TOBACCO Control and Cessation-
