A group of young volunteers formed a forum “Dhumpan Mukto Projonmo (Smoke free new generation)” with the support of YPSA. The forum organized a Sticker Campaign at a book fair, DC hill, Chittagong to celebrate International Mother Language day on 21 February 2013.
Volunteers distributed stickers, handbills and other promotional materials displaying the “harmful effects of tobacco uses” to the mass people during the campaign.
YPSA has been implementing an initiative to promote smoke free public places and local government through developing, enacting, adopting and enforcing smoke free guideline with the aim to protect the non smoker from exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke, ensure the proper implementation of tobacco control law, promote a culture of non smoking so that smokers have least chances to smoke and continuously move to quit and ensure the participation of all people in tobacco control initiatives.
