Science behind Tobacco Addiction and Cessation at The IPS Science Talk

Dr. Pawan Gupta M.Ch at the 13th Indian Photobiology Society Science Talk

It was a great opportunity to talk on the SCIENCE BEHIND TOBACCO ADDICTION AND CESSATION to the scientific community at the 13th virtual Talk in the ‘Indian Photobiology Society Science Talk’ on 30th March, 2024 (Saturday) at 7.00 PM (IST).

QUITTING TOBACCO IS A CHALLENGE! QUITTING TOBACCO IS A SCIENCE!!! People quit to relapse. Tobacco is the most dreaded disease of the present time, killing 8 million people every year. In a recent survey (data being analyzed in detail) conducted by me on the prevalence and willingness to quit tobacco amongst doctors, it was found that most doctors despite the knowledge about tobacco, failed to quit tobacco. Extrapolating the same for the general population it is understood that the quit rate is dismal. There has to be an understanding of how to improve the quit rate.

Tobacco addiction is now recognized as a disease, with its own pathology. Like any other disease, a scientific approach to understanding its intricacies is essential for effective treatment and cessation strategies. Organizations, ICanCaRe have been at the forefront, developing digitalized scientific interventions that address the social, psychological, and physical aspects of tobacco addiction through the ABCD holistic intervention model, leading to successful outcomes. However, further study and standardization of intervention models are crucial for achieving a mass effect and widespread impact with successful outcome.

The Science behind tobacco addiction and cessation is for understanding the intricacies and involvement of a scientific cessation process aiming to unravel its complexities and pave the way for a more scientific approach to a successful cessation processes.

Prof. Nitin Chattopadhyay, President, Indian Photobiology Society presided over the meeting and C. Sinha, Secretary, Indian Photobiology Society & Professor, Department of Chemistry, Jadavpur University, Kolkata; M-7044231277 conducted the meeting.

During the interaction, it was found that there are huge numbers of tobacco users on the campus and they keep spitting around and throwing buds just anywhere.

There was a huge need to create awareness on campus about tobacco use and tobacco wellness and cessation facilities with oral care should be made available.

Doctors trained in tobacco cessation must be made available for the purpose in the IOCL hospital.
