The Delhi University (DU) will soon get a rehabilitation centre to help students quit smoking and drinking, Union health minister Anbumani Ramadoss said on Tuesday. He was speaking at a programme on "smoking-free campus" organised by the students' union organisation. "The Delhi University is leading the anti-tobacco programme and I promise that very soon the varsity will get a rehabilitation centre," he said. According to World Lung Organisation data, out of the 40,000 students studying in the North Campus of the university, 24 per cent boys and seven per cent girls are smokers. "When filmstars like Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan are brand ambassadors for health programmes like the National Rural Health Mission and the polio campaign, they should avoid smoking onscreen," he added. "This is especially important when movies contribute to almost 52 per cent in promotion of the killer habit," said the health minister. India should not only be smoking-free, but, should also be comprehensively tobacco-free by 2020, he said. Citing the examples of Irish pubs and French cafes, he said the health ministry is confident that with strong will and awareness, it is possible to eliminate deep-rooted evils like consuming tobacco products and alcoholism in India. However, Dr Ramadoss expressed confidence that anti-tobacco efforts will be able to overcome internal and external oppositions. He blamed the tobacco industry for the habit and held it responsible for the death of five million people worldwide, saying that these industries have strong lobbies. "Now the developing countries like India and China are the target of the tobacco industries after they are banned in developed countries. They have strong lobby worldwide and it is the only industry which kills its own consumers," he said, adding that there are 400 chemicals inside a cigarette.
