Community Engagement on World No Tobacco Day 2025

🏢 वर्ल्ड नो टोबैको डे 2025 | सामुदायिक संवाद – मैक्स पटपड़गंज

2 मई 2025 को मैक्स हॉस्पिटल पटपड़गंज में आस-पास की RWA के अध्यक्षों और सचिवों के साथ एक महत्वपूर्ण चर्चा हुई। उद्देश्य साफ था —
हमारी सोसायटी को स्वच्छ, हरी-भरी, स्वस्थ और तम्बाकू मुक्त बनाना।

तम्बाकू हमारे समाज का सबसे बड़ा संकट बन चुका है — न केवल स्वास्थ्य के लिए खतरनाक, बल्कि युवाओं के भविष्य के लिए भी।

मैंने सभी को “SAVE THE YOUTH” अभियान से जुड़ने और ये शपथ लेने के लिए प्रेरित किया:

🛑 ना लूंगा, ना लेने दूंगा
(“ना मैं तम्बाकू लूंगा, और ना ही किसी को लेने दूंगा।”)

🌿 आइए, हम सब बनें Tobacco Marshal
अपने मोहल्ले, स्कूल, सोसायटी और परिवार में बदलाव के दूत।

👨‍⚕️ अगर कोई तम्बाकू छोड़ना चाहता है, तो ये मदद उपलब्ध है:

इस कार्यक्रम को सफल बनाने के लिए दिल से धन्यवाद Ms. गुंजन ग्रोवर (8860101388) को, जिन्होंने ये संवाद आयोजित किया।

एक स्वस्थ समाज का सपना अब सिर्फ सपना नहीं — यह हमारी जिम्मेदारी है।

🏢 World No Tobacco Day 2025 | Community Engagement at Max Patparganj

On 2nd May 2025, we hosted a meaningful interaction with Presidents and Secretaries of RWAs from the neighborhoods around Max Patparganj, with a shared vision:
A clean, green, healthy and tobacco-free society.

Tobacco remains the biggest nuisance in our homes, parks, stairwells, and streets—not just a health hazard but a threat to the well-being of our youth.

I urged everyone to join the “SAVE THE YOUTH” campaign and take the pledge:

🛑 Na Lunga, Na Lene Dunga
(“Neither will I consume tobacco, nor let anyone consume it around me.”)

🌿 Let’s become Tobacco Marshals in our communities.
Let’s take action—educate, empower, and support those who want to quit.

A heartfelt thank you to Ms. Gunjan Grover (8860101388) for organizing this vital community outreach.

Together, we don’t just dream of a healthier society—we create it.

🏃‍♂️ Run for a Cause | World No Tobacco Day 2025 | 01.06.2025

Honoured to be invited as the Guest of Honour at the Noida 10K Run Challenge 2025—a vibrant celebration of health, fitness, and a tobacco-free lifestyle, hosted at Seth M.R. Jaipuria School, Greater Noida early morning 1st of June 2025

Over 800 spirited participants joined this early morning fitness fest. I had the privilege to deliver a motivational message and then run 3 km alongside sports enthusiasts and change-makers. 

Ms. Bhavna Gaur, Ms  Kumud, Ms. Sheela, Mr Mukesh Jain, Mr. Abhishek Singh and many more with whom I had a stint. And of course Lakshay my son was also there to run 10 km. 

As a Cancer Surgeon and Senior Director at Max Hospital Vaishali, my message was clear and urgent:

💬 LIVE FREE. BREATHE FREE.
🚫 Don’t fall for surrogate advertisements—they glamorize addiction.
BE SMART. DO NOT START.
QUITTING IS POSSIBLE — with structured medical therapy & counselling.
✅ Do a monthly self-check for any “Chota Daana” (suspicious oral lesion). Early detection = better outcomes.

🎯 Become a Tobacco Marshal in your community. Educate, support, inspire.

📞 Quitline: 9773856664

Pedaling Towards a Tobacco-Free Tomorrow: My Message on World No Tobacco Day 2025

Pedaling Towards a Tobacco-Free Tomorrow: My Message on World No Tobacco Day 2025

“What legacy are we leaving behind—addiction or awareness?”

It was an honour to serve as Guest of Honour at the World No Tobacco Day Cyclothon 2025 at DLF Mall of India, Noida. Representing Max Hospital Vaishali as Senior Director of Surgical Oncology, I was deeply moved by the collective energy and purpose of the event—Pedaling with Purpose—for a tobacco-free tomorrow.

Tobacco remains one of the leading causes of preventable cancers, particularly oral and lung cancers. Every single puff, chew or dip takes someone one step closer to disease and despair. But hope lies in awareness, action, and timely intervention.

This Event Was a Movement, Not Just a Ride

It was a rallying cry for every citizen to take charge—not just of their health, but of their community. I asked everyone present to become a Tobacco Marshal in their homes, workplaces, and neighborhoods.

Here are three powerful messages I urge each of you to carry forward:

1. BE SMART. DO NOT START.

Prevention is the strongest cure. Say NO to the first puff, the first chew—because that’s where the battle is won.

2. QUITTING IS POSSIBLE.

You don’t have to fight addiction alone. Medical therapy and counseling are available, and they work.
📞 Call Quitline: 9773856664
📧 Email: support@icancare.com
🌐 Visit: www.quittobacco.icancare.com
Or walk into the ICanCaRe Tobacco Cessation Centre at Max Vaishali for support tailored to your needs.

3. SELF-CHECK YOUR ORAL CAVITY MONTHLY.

Early detection saves lives. Look for any “Chota Daana” (small lump/lesion) or non-healing ulcer.
If in doubt, do not wait—visit Max Vaishali for non-invasive screening and treatment options.

Let us remember: Health is not just a personal goal—it’s a collective responsibility. The success of this event lies not only in participation but in what we do next.

💬 Be the voice that says NO.
💪 Be the hand that helps someone quit.
🛡️ Be the Tobacco Marshal your community needs.

Together, we can outpace tobacco—and make India stronger, cleaner, and cancer-free.
