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.

Tobacco and Oral Cancer

The global burden of oral cancer has continued to rise, especially in India, mainly due to the high consumption of tobacco and betel quid. Current research has helped elucidate the relationship between tobacco use and the spread of oral cancer, but more still needs to be understood. Rigorous prevention programs and well-established supportive infrastructure are vital to reducing the number of tobacco-related oral cancer cases.

In light of World No Tobacco Day, join us for a special session, organized in association with SIPHER, on “Tobacco and Oral Cancers” with the renowned Surgical Oncologist Dr. Pawan Gupta on 10th June 2023, 5 PM IST onwards.

Session Highlights:

Tobacco Cessation in Western methodology cannot be copied for Indian patients

What is Chota Dana Campaign?

How can cessation of tobacco cure many lesions in the oral cavity?

Tobacco Cessation Strategies in Lung Cancer

12.5.2023 TOBACCO CESSATION STRATEGIES IN LUNG CANCER – Dr. Pawan Gupta M.Ch.

I was invited to talk about the strategy of tobacco Cessation for lung cancer patients in the Symposium on Management of Early Lung Cancer at Maple Hall, India Habitat Centre on 12.5 .2023.

About 40 young Oncologists from across all Institutes in Delhi NCR gathered for the symposium convened by Dr. Satyapal Kataria and Dr. Anshul Gupta.

These young oncologists are different, they have special bonding, unlike the older oncologists who have compartmentalized themselves in their Institutions and work only to gain patients.

The discussion was rich and educative. I as an Onco-surgeon with in-depth research in tobacco cessation and running a successful tobacco cessation center at MAX gain an insight into the simplified methodology to successful tobacco cessation protocol-based intervention. ICanCaRe protocol is a salable, scalable, and sustainable model to be adopted by all institutions.

Tobacco Cessation, a preventive aspect of oncology is generally not a part of even major conferences but was accepted very well by the young oncologists. Each one felt that they need to do more and get involved for the better treatment and future of their patients. 100% said there is a great need for tobacco cessation in their practice. A cessation expert is needed in all the hospitals.

They were eager to know about the cessation methodology. Each was more than ready to incorporate #advicequittobacco in their practice.

Appreciate #anshulgupta #satyapalkataria for the wonderful meet.
