#10th ICanCaRe Tutorial for Certified Tobacco Cessation Specialists

On June 15th 2023, 10th Tutorial was conducted by team ICanCaRe, around 22 members attended the same.

The primary discussion was about the question asked by Mrs. Sonal Bhatia about the medicament and cessation protocol for a patient who is a continuous Gutkha Chewer, whether to go for Behaviour modification and medications simultaneously or not?

This question was very well discussed by the CTCS members including Dr Aruna, Dr Varsha, and others. Dr. Pawan Gupta told about the medication and behavior modifications in detail for an SLT patient.

It was a great practical learning experience about the effects of tobacco chewing on body physiology and about tobacco de-addiction using medications including NRTs and other drugs.

We would like to encourage people to take part in our monthly session and learn in-depth details about practical tobacco cessation through cases discussed here. Tutorial for Certified Tobacco Cessation Specialists is a monthly program on the 15th, 9-10 PM. We welcome our CTCS to present complex cases on tobacco cessation for discussion and finding solutions for successful quitting. Please contact Dr. Mariya, Dr Siddhi, or Dr. Monalee for cases for tutorials.

#9th ICanCaRe Tutorial for Certified Tobacco Cessation Specialists

The Ninth Tutorial for Certified Tobacco Cessation Specialists was conducted by Dr. Siddhi Hathiwala, on 15th May 2023. 26 CTCS attended the same. The agenda was set as follows:

1) Discussion on an Interventional study about ‘Training for PHC Health Workers regarding early detection of Oral Cancer & Pre-cancer’ presented by Dr. Kshipra Deshpande. Suggestions were put up by all the participants for better execution of this awareness drive

2) Discuss Srijay’s dilemma about ‘Should a wife give prescribed medicines to her smoker husband without his knowledge?’

3) Discussion on Srijay’s query about ‘How to tackle relatives who smoke and do not like to be advised to quit?’

4) Ideas and agenda planning for World No Tobacco Day as a CTCS group.

The importance of motivation for healthcare workers was highlighted. Great stress was placed on primary preventive activities at ground level by these health workers, and spreading awareness about oral self-examination by the people. It was the unanimous assertion that early detection of minor changes in the color and size of oral tissues could prevent full-blown cancer development. The ground-level health workers need to be vigilant about these features and refer patients to higher centers.

Activities that can be planned out for celebrating World No Tobacco Day, on 31st May, by the ICanCaRe family, were discussed in detail. Everyone agreed on making Flyers in their local languages and circulate them on social media to highlight tobacco cessation activities by the ICanCaRe family.

The importance of Yog and Motivating Energy for tobacco cessation patients was highlighted – Sync-energy every Sunday morning.
