300-odd college-going women will take part in MCCS initiative on World No Tobacco Day today
If you are a man of marriageable age and are addicted to tobacco, take note. You may struggle to find a bride in Kannur. Several young college-going women in the district have decided to take an oath not to marry a tobacco user. The programme will be launched by the Malabar Cancer Care Society (MCCS) on World No Tobacco Day on Monday to help women spread word on the harmful impact of tobacco use. Around 300 women are expected to take part in the programme. “My grandfather was diagnosed with a lung disease. Had my grandmother not helped him quit smoking, he would not have survived so long,” said Nischitha Das, a student of Sree Narayana Guru College, who plans to join the oath-taking ceremony.
