Pictorial warnings on tobacco products: how delayed and diluted in India?
Abstract:
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has estimated that India has the second largest number of smokers in the world after China. According to the National Family Health Survey-3, 2005-06, 57% of adult men and 3.1% of adult women used one or more tobacco products. The Global Youth Tobacco Survey 2006 estimated that in India 17.3% of boys and 9.75 % of girls in the age group 13-15 are using a tobacco product. In poor households, up to 10.5% of the household income is spent on tobacco.
