Abstract

In India, tobacco products are a leading cause of preventable diseases, including cancer. Because of the health risks to children, we explored compliance and implementation of tobacco control law in relation to educational institutes (EIs). We discuss an issue of accountability by an EI in relation to compliance regarding the prohibition of tobacco vendors in close proximity to the EI. We also discuss various studies highlighting poor implementation of the law prohibiting tobacco sales near to EIs. It is our recommendation that the tobacco control law in India should be strengthened to reduce preventable diseases, including cancer.

印度控烟法：教育机构实施禁烟。

在印度，烟草产品是导致癌症等可预防疾病的主要原因。由于对儿童的健康风险，我们探讨了与教育机构（EIs）有关的烟草控制法的遵守和实施。我们讨论了一个由EI负责的问题，该问题与EI附近禁止烟草摊贩的合规有关。我们还讨论了各种研究，这些研究突出了禁止在经济影响点附近销售烟草的法律执行不力。我们建议加强印度的烟草控制法，以减少包括癌症在内的可预防疾病。
