The Anti-Tobacco Forum, Mysuru, has urged the authorities to take necessary steps to ensure that the Mysuru Dasara-2026 is made ‘Tobacco-free’.
With the government announcing that Dasara 2026 would be a grand affair and lakhs of tourists will be visiting Mysuru for the festival, convenor of Anti-Tobacco Forum, Mysuru, Vasanthkumar Mysoremath, said it was necessary to make this year’s Dasara ‘Tobacco-free’.
It will be appropriate if this year’s Dasara be made “Tobacco-free Mysuru Dasara“ for keeping city’s environs healthy and clean and to protect non-smokers from the noxious fumes of cigarette/bidi smoke and also to warn gutkha/paan paraag users that they should not spit and dirty the city,” said Mr. Mysoremath, who is also the resource person for National/District Tobacco Control Programme.
He also emphasised the need to make visitors to the City aware that smoking aggravates various non-communicable diseases like cancer, tuberculosis, blood pressure, heart ailments etc.
