Anti-Smoking scenario in Pakistan.
J Surg Pak Jan ;8(2):30-1.

31st May is celebrated as “No Tobacco Day” in whole of the world`. This reminds people of adopting good healthy habits especially excluding/extinguishing the established addictive and hazardous habit of cigarette smoking. In the recent years, although a positive, healthy thinking against smoking has been noted / emerged in masses of educated Pakistani people but still a lot should be thought and done at national level. Arranging few antismoking walks in some big cities in the name of a campaign create no or meager impact on the people of a country, where 70% of the population lives in the rural areas and is not even up to primary education level. With the result nothing could be scored so far by these futile and non productive efforts.
