The name “cancer” makes everyone fearful. This word is considered synonymous with death. No one would ever know the pain associated with this disease more than us who had undergone this unfortunate experience. We live under threat of re-occurrence of the disease and the fear of death always haunts us. This disease has not only changed our lives but also severely disturbed our dear ones. Most of us are suffering from mouth cancer which is a direct result of Gutka/Pan Masala chewing. Though we have survived the disease, we are severely disabled in terms of breathing, speech, swallowing, chewing, appearance, taste sensation etc. Some of us lost our livelihood because of these disabilities that have pushed us into poverty.

Read More“Voice of Tobacco Victims” is a campaign to make Tobacco Victims as the public face of the tobacco control movement in India. It is unfortunate that a cancer causing substance, that kills millions every year, is sold so freely and advertized so brazenly. It is disturbing to witness ever increasing number of young cancer patients visiting cancer clinic every day. Most of them, owing to advanced stage, die within 5 years of diagnosis. Those who survive, live with severe depression, dejection, disfigurement and disability. Should we remain a silent witness of a crime and wait for someone else to find a solution? We intend to make tobacco victims as the public face of the war on tobacco. We help tobacco victims get justice and help them raise a war cry against the very industry that sold them cancer.
