Dear Shri Dharmendra Pradh atr Jr' NAruS

Tobacco'use i3 the single largest cause of preventable deattrs and illness
worldwide and kills half of its users prematurely, in their most productive age. I am
.---happy to shqqlhat-!0y Ministry bas recently released the key fu:dings of the fourttt
--- round of the Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS4), 2019, with estimates on key
indicators on tobacco use among school-going children in the age group 13-15 years in
India. A copy of the,National Factshoet of GYTS-4 is enclosed herewith for ready
reference.

2, As per the findings of the GYTS-4, 8.5% of students in class 8e to 106 and aged
from 13 to 15 years, use tobacco in any form. The survey higblights that the prevalence
of tobacco use among boys is 9.6%o and among girls is 7.4%. More than 29olo of students
have reported exposure to second hand smoke. It is also noted that 28.8% of students
have reported that they saw anyone smoking inside the school building or ouBide school
property. It may also be noted tlrat the median age of initiation on tobacco use among the
children in the 13-15 years age group, has been estimated at ll.5 years for cigareftes,
10.5 years for Bidi and 9.9 yean for smokeless (chewing) tobacco.

t, 3. It is heartening to note that

85.4% school heads were found to be awatr of
CiBarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act, 2003 (COT?A). 82.1% of schools are found
- - ---t-o-be following "tObaeC-o- free school" guidelines and 82.5o/o of schools havb been found - --
, to be aware of the policy for displaying 'tobacco free school'signages. However, only
l.
i
37.8% students have reported that they were taught in ctass about harmfirl effects of
' tobacco use during past 12 months.

r 4. Tobacco contol has been one of the high priorities of the Govcrnment.
Consistent with the idiom of "Prevention is better than cure", the Government has taken
various measures for both prevention of initiation oftobacco use among the children and
youttl and for providing cessation services. COTPA-2003 contains specific provisions to
discourage tobacco use among children and youth, such as ban on smoking in public
placcs, including in all educational institutions of all levels, both public
and private,
prohibition ofsale oftobacco products to or by minors (less than 18 years
ofage) and
prohibition of sales oftobacco products within 100 yards of any educational
institution.
