Tobacco Marshal Training Program at Seema Dental College and Hospital

For the first time in Uttarakhand, TOBACCO MARSHAL training program was conducted at the Centre of Excellence for Tobacco Cessation Training at the Seema Dental College and Hospital, Rishikesh.

31 Selected faculties and students from various departments were empowered as TOBACCO MARSHALs.

The vision of Director Principal Dr. Himanshu Aeran was ably promoted by Prof. Dr. Jyotsna Seth and Prof. Dr Avinish.  The much-needed empowered tobacco MARSHAL are being created to make the future of student secure and respectable.

Prof. Dr. Pravesh Singh – The first Teacher TOBACCO MARSHAL of India initiated the training program and put forth how she has been able to change her own life and showcased multiple activities at KIET by establishing the Club – Ek Prayas at the campus.

Dr. Pawan Gupta M.Ch. Director Surgical Oncology at MAX and Founder ICanCaRe conducted the training.

Mr. Ramesh K Singh shared his experience with the candidates.

4 hours of intensive discussion covered the 8R aspects of Tobacco and empowered each of the participants as TOBACCO MARSHALs. Each participant were very much enthusiastic and took part in discussion how to handle a person who is taking tobacco- the conversation that needs to follow with the person to engage and guide them towards making him/her tobacco-free.

Tobacco MARSHALS – they have a major role as influencers and are essential for tobacco control

  • § SAVE youth initiation (BE SMART DO NOT START)
  • § Encourage cessation (WIN OVER TOBACCO IS EASY)
  • § Increase negative attitudes toward tobacco use (BE CAREFUL AND FEARFUL)
  • § Chota Dhana – Identify early lesions of the Oral Cavity
  • § Induct more people to support the cause (CAPACITY BUILDING)
  • § Increase support for policy change (CREATE TOBACCO-FREE ZONES)

Tobacco MARSHAL is a prestige and a recognition of personal social responsibility against the most dreaded disease in the WORLD.

With the presence of TOBACCO MARSHAL on the campus, it is going to be a major ripple effect at campus and outside the campus. As a responsibility each tobacco MARSHAL will influence what is easy within their limits and keep increasing the circle of influence at home, campus, with their patients and more. Once every month on a particular day as a routine, all the tobacco MARSHALs will put on the cap and badge and attempt to influence the people in the campus and in the society.

Putting on the badge while going out to parties etc will also create an awareness amongst the large number of people.

All the participants were very happy and proud to be the TOBACCO MARSHAL!
