INTRODUCTION:
Cancer Patients Aid Association (CPAA) is an Al/-India non-governmental
organization(NGO) which is involved in the management and care of cancer patients.
This association is a registered Public Trust and has been in existence since 29 years. It
is entirely dependent on the assistance from donors, corporate bodies and on it’s own
internal resources.Very recently, it conducted a fund raising programming last
December, to tap the corporate sector for donations. It also takes the help of W.H.O. for
meeting it’s expenses upto the extent of 50%(i.e.upto the extent oi approximately
Rs.3,00,000.
At CPAA it is believed that the prime channels to alleviate and assist cancer
patients and give them free aid and disburse medicines. Also, CPAA believes that a
disease like cancer hurts not only the body but the mind and soul of not only the patient,
but the entire family as well. So, they have been working to organize activities that will
bring some moments of cheer to the patients and his/her family.
MAJOR ACTIYITIKS:
It’s major activities include the following:
1. Disbursement of free medicines through it’s Aid Disbursement Centre at Mumbai
which provides anti-cancer drugs, blood, artificial limbs, etc
2. Conduct of various programs at educational institutions, factories, offices and other
group locations.
3. Free diagnostics through special camps in slums and rural interior around Mumbai,
Pune, Delhi.
4. Rehabilitation centres offering employment facilities to cancer patients and their
families besides free transport, medical reimbursements, food, accommadastion, etc.
5. Setting up of an association which takes over the total care of a patient on behalf of a
donor through the philosophy “Adopt a Cancer Patient’
6. Programs such as “Save one life from cancer” and “Friends of cancer.”
7. Organizing of “World No Tobacco Day” every year on 31st May to increase
awareness of cancer.
It now intends to increases it’s scope of it’s activities by:
1. Undertaking wider and more effective programs
2. Leveraging the momentum to conduct an ongoing program regarding the health
hazards surrounding tobacco usage.

PROJECT UNDERTAKEN:
We had been asked to conduct a survey of peolple who smoke and were aged 18-25
years. This project had been proposed by the CPAA in it’s outline report on the proposed
campaign for 1999.
The reasons for this type of survey are:
■
It has been estimated that over 70% of the Indian youth population are smokers or
consume tobacco in some form or thee other. Despite this fact, they are the recent
converts to this habit and if proper awareness occurs by our campaign, then it shall be
easier to withdraw from this habit.
■
Though children below the age group of 18 years and are mostly non-smokers, yet
they are very prone to fall into this deadly habit. If by our survey, there is awareness
amongst this population, then there shall be an overall reduction in the overall
percentage of smokers in the long-run.
■
It shall not be very fruitful to create this kind of survey in the older age group as
people in this category who are non-smokers, are unlikely to start now and those who
do are less likely to give up.
■
It is essential to survey in such a manner that we focus on the lower class as it is they
who become a liability to the population due to their procuring cancer due to
smoking.

AREAS COVERED
SURVEY DETAILS:
I
1. Survey of handicraft workers:
We interviewed around 10 handicraft workers in the Indiranagar area of
Bangalore. These people earn approximately Rs.4500
Per month depending on the
number of pieces on which they do the work of handicrafts. These people are therefore in
the lower middle class of the population. They work under a lady Boss by the name of
Mrs. Yashmeen Muzabit These workers are daily wagers.
However, these workers have been troubling their lady Boss lately due to their
one very bad habit, and that is the habit of consuming tobacco in some form or the other.
These workers are so much addicted to tobacco that they cannot even think of leaving
this habit of theirs. Some of these workers consume tobacco in the form of cigarettes
thereby consuming nicotine as well. Nicotine as we all know is another very deadly habit
which eats the human body as a parasite eats it’s prey These people smoke cigarettes and
Beedis at an unimaginable rate of 10-20 per day! Some of the workers are also chain
smokers and almost blow up their entire earnings in smoke. These people don’t even
think of their families as to their responsibility of feeding and clothing them. They only
know that, all that they have to do in their lives is to satisfy their desire to smoke or
consume tobacco in some form like Gutka,Pan Masala,etc.
These handicraft workers however realise that they are harming none other than
themselves when we asked them as to whether they were aware of the harmful effects of
consuming tobacco with respect to even falling a prey to the deadly disease of cancer
which might ultimately cause their death as well. These workers are also full aware of the
fact that they are addicts to consuming tobacco and indeed have no plans of leaving this
habit of theirs. Hiey can be said to be so selfish that they don’t even care that passive
smokers, be it their family members or friends are at a higher risk of procuring cancer.
They have only this thing to say that if they don’t consume tobacco in some form or the
other in any particular day, then they feel very irritated or frustrated or experience pain in
their bodies or are not in their normal self These workers can never even think of
quitting smoking or consuming tobacco in some form or the other. When asked to
express their views on the annuals observance of World No Tobacco Day* on May 31
every year, the general opinion of these workers was thai it was nice to observe this day
to create awareness of cancer amongst the general public(specially the youth), the
workers requested us that the people who do not smoke should not fallen into this habit of
1
consuming tobacco as it is really very difficult to quit this habit They were really very
happy that at least the youth of today is at least thinking of spreading the message of
creating awareness of cancer to the masses.They even asked our addresses and contact
phone numbers so that they seek help from us as and when required.
While we were interviewing these poor handicraft workers, we were filled with
awe and anxiety at the same moment We were worried over the fact that these handicraft
workers were not thinking of their future but on the other hand were gradually killing
themselves by this poison of consuming tobacco and falling into the prey of becoming
cancer patients in the near future. We felt pity for these workers at the same time because
although they know that they are addicts, they can't think of quitting this habit as they
used to experience physical pain . The selfishness of these workers was one thing to
which we found very difficult to react. On the one hand wet felt angry for their habit
of not consuming tobacco amongst the others who do not consume tobacco. Whereas, on
the other hand we felt pity for their inability to leave this habit and not bothering of the
risks to the passive smokers when they are busy gratifying themselves of their
satisfaction in pursuing their habit One important thing that really influenced our general
perception of the people who consume tobacco, was their advice given to the nonsmokers on the occasion of the observance of the 'World No Tobacco Day* on the 31st of
May every year. These people said that the non-smokers should never fall into the habit
of consuming tobacco as it is really very difficult to quit this habit if one falls into this
habit We were really impressed over this realization of these handicraft workers who
were not very educated that the entire population of India should not consume tobacco in
any form Their asking us our contact phone numbers gave us an indication that these
workers were really concerned of their health for if any problem occurred due to their
habit of consuming tobacco, they could seek the help of CPAA. It was indeed a great
experience for us to interview these workers.

cmpentemyn,^ these people are also of the lower income ciass of the populanon
Hrese people however spend around 1U.3040 per dm, to satisfy the,, hnb.t o
consuming tobacco in some former the other.
We posed them to the questionnaire that we were supposed to ask to the people
who .« tobacco in some form or th. other. We filbd that most of th. gmnge
workers and carp.raters in the HALHod Stage used to consume tobacco m some form or
the other. Our study revealed that th. mux,mum populat.on of empeuterv and garage
workers in das part.cular are. used to take either cigarettes or khami or Gulka and then
frequency of consuming these were ranging normally between 1-5 an between 5-10 n
some extreme cases. Almost 90% of them had Mien into this hab.t of oonsum.ng tobacco
in some form or th. other at a very young agelmostly in teens) and had been tnlluenced
by their friends to Ml into thia deadly trap from which th. only and the M escape was
Death and nothing else. Also, most of them know that they were addicts mid gave various
.espouses as to what they felt when they wouldn't smoke for around half a day. Some stud
ttel they felt restlessness, some .aid that they felt tensed or had a terrible headache. Some
of the acute cases of tobacco addicts also felt that they would go »md if they were ever
asked to quit smoking According to them, Tobacco .» th.ir soul and blood and they
could never imagine to quit the consumption of tobacco. They did not care for the harm
th« cigarette smoking cause, to the people who don't smoke but may be m the vrcm.ty of
the smokers while bey are .molting Ihi. was because they never lot their parents or then
spouses know that they were addicted to smoking They practiced thia habit of them ven.
prudently hiding it from the eyes of the people who care for them and who have a right to
cudgel them. These people are fully aware of the fact of the perils that commmmg
tobacco in any form can c- but are unable to quit this Imbil of theirs. Some of them
have even tried to quit smoking in their past but couldn't succeed in this effort of them as
I
they experience a lot of physical pain in doing so. So, they have restarted this habit of
theirs and intend to continue this in future as well. When asked to express their views
regarding the observance of the WORLD NO TOBACCO DAY every year on the 31 of
may every year, Most of them responded saying that one should not fall into the habit of
I
consuming tobacco but some of them even said that the choice of smoking should be left
on an individual as every ahs his/her lifestyle and should stay as one wishes.
While we were interviewing this class of workers, we were amazed to know that a
majority of these workers were into this habit of consuming tobacco in some form or the
other. We were also surprised to know that these lower class people who do not have
enough to fill their stomach every day were able to smoke of up to 1-5 or even5-10
cigarettes shelling out approximately Rs.30-40 per day. We felt remorseful at the plight
of the dependents in a family where the main earning ember was an addict of tobacco
consumption in any form. When we came to know that these people were addicts, we felt
a deep pain in our heart. We felt pathetic over their condition at the moment that even if
they wanted they could not leave this habit of smoking as they experienced acute physical
pain. We both felt very bad for the people who were dependent on the ones addicted to
smoking as they practiced this habit of theirs without the former's knowledge. The
dependents might be feeling that they shall be having god food and a roof over their
heads throughout their lives; but it's pathetic to even think of the day when the earning
member of the family shall be forced to breathe his last, thanks to tobacco! Although
these people were not educated to the primary level also, yet most of them at least advise
the non-smokers not smoke ever in their lives. We really heaved a sigh of relief at this as
we felt happy for the fact that even the not-so educated youth of India is against the habit
of consuming tobacco, so what if it is in their thoughts only and not in practice. Someday,
we feel that these people shall also practice their thoughts in this regard. The future is
definitely bleak but not impossible to reach.
3. Survey of workers in the Civil Deptt.:
We interviewed some people of the CIVIL Department. These people were also
daily waged workers who worked under a contractor. These people have been consuming
tobacco in the form of cigarettes or Bidis. These people eam around Rs.3000-4000 per
month and therefore fall in the lower income group.
They generally consume these in the frequency of 5-10 or even more than lOin
some very acute cases.. They prefer the economical ITC Small or the Ganesh Bidis
generally and spend around Rs.2-20 per day to pursue this of theirs Most of them have
fallen into this habit in the company
f
of friends handsome have fallen into this deadly
trap at a very young age of around 12 years. Around 99%of them know that they are
addicts but care the le%t of the consequences in the future with respect to the diseases that
this would cause and that this would one day cause them their dear life as well. Even after
consumption in an any form may
we highlighted them with the problems that tobacco
cause in the future, they still held on to the fact that they would like to continue in this
habit in future as well. They say the that they have never tried to quit smoking Irfuture
and infect can never even think of doing so, as they feel that then their life would be
meaningless. When interviewed of the dangers to the risks involved to the passive
smokers these workers said that they don't have anything to say in this regard as their
economical condition doesn’t permit them to thank
beyond their ownself When asked
to express their views on the observance of WORLD NO TOBACCO Day the 31st of
May every year, these people said that every person in this world have their own
individuality. So, according to them people should be left on their own as to the decision
of smoking. Thus,in their opinion the people who feel like smoking should be allowed to
smoke and those who do not feel so should not be forced to fall into this habit
When we were interviewing these lower income people, we were angry over the
fact nothing as yet has been done to spread the awareness of the dangers of consumption
of tobacco specially by smoking cigarettes, bidis, etc. We were wondering as to why the
Indian Government ahs not taken proper steps in this regard and why nothing substantial
has been done to curb the habit of not smoking in the youth population of this class. We
were aghast to know that these people have fallen into this habit at a very young age of
around 12 years when usually children at this tender age enjoy their life in their own way.
Thus, the golden age of theirs was lost in the company of those who have fallen into the
trap of smoking and slowly killing themselves. We also felt from their indifferent attitude
to the perils of smoking that that there were very few awareness programs directed
specially to this segment of the population. Due to this, most of the workers in this class
of the Indian population never bother of the harm that tobacco consumption in any
■
form(be it cigarettes or Biddies or any other form) is causing to themselves as well as to
the entire world We wondered their being able to spend Rs20 per day for smoking which
meant that about 1/4 or even 1/3 of their earnings per month are blown up in smoke. On
!•
top of this, these people feel that they can’t think of quitting this habit of theirs. They do
not realize the fact had they been able to save this entire amount that they blow up in
smoke; they would be able utilize this amount for thee rainy days. They are not realizing
this fact also that so long as their pair of hands are able to work, they are able to pursue
this habit of theirs Once they develop some or the other disability, who will feed them
and who will give them money to smoke? That is the big question for which efforts have
to be made to spread the awareness of the Pandora box of dangers which come along with
this habit of smoking or consuming tobacco in any other form.
4. Survey ofthe general public in the lower class:
We then interviewed the general lower class people in the Indiranagar area of
Bangalore. These people comprised the building workers, bar-tenders, cooks, workers in
the paper bottling plants and in the mattress making industries. These workers are of the
daily waged type and earn around Rs.2500-4000 per month. They are thus in the lower
income level of the Indian population.
The workers in this category consume tobacco in the form of cigarettes mostly but
a significant number of them also take Bidis, Gutka, Khaini, Pan Masala (Zarda),etc.
The frequency of consumption of tobacco in the aforementioned manners ranges
between 1-5 and 5-10 in most of the cases but in extreme cases also excess 10 per day.
The most popular brand in this category is ITC Small but the other brands like Berkeley,
Charmin, Scissors (Small) and Gannet Biddies are also preferred. These people have
fallen into this habit since the age of around 8-12 tears and once again their source of
motivation to fall into this trap were friends. They are fully aware of the fact that they
are addicts and they can't think of quitting this habit in the future as they feel tired easily
or have indigestion or feel dizzy or experience acute pain in their bodies if they do not
smoke even a single day. When asked to react to their risks to the dangers to the passive
smokers due to this habit of their smoking, these people mostly said that they do not
smoking in front of their family members of those people who don’t smoke or in front of
those who have problems in smoking. Some of the people whom we interviewed in this
category did not even know the harmful effects that this habit of their smoking or
consuming tobacco in any other form would cause. However the other s who were well
t
aware of the dangers of consuming tobacco in any form were equally keen to pursue
this habit of theirs in future as well. However there was an optimistic tone in this
segment of the population with respect to the quitting fi this habit in future. While some
of them can’t think of quitting yet they held the belief that if they try they can succeed in
future in this respect. The advice that these people have given to the non-smokers on the
occasion of the observance of WORLD NO TOBACCO DAY is that it is better not
smoke or even try this anytime in one’s lifetime. They are aware of die fact this is a bad
habit and it is better not to even try it. Yet, as always there were some exceptions in this
case also who said that one should smoke as it gives a feeling of relaxation and tension-
free mind.
The experience that we had with these kind of workers was quite heart rending.
Once again we found to our pitiful state that these people fell into this habit at a very
young age when usually the children enjoy. Thus, their golden period was lost in smoke
amongst the fumes of cigarettes or biddies, etc. We wondered why there were no persons
who would have told them of the dangers that this would cause in their future lives and
their future generations swell. It is really pathetic to listen to the worries of their spouses
and their dear ones who really wish that these people would not have fallen into this trap
which was gradually eating them up like a parasite destroys it’s prey. We were however
very happy to know that there were a few in this particular segment of the population
who were having a positive note in quitting this habit in future. So for the first time in the
survey of the lower class people did we meet some people who were willing to quit this
bad habit in future. Hence this positive thinking amongst this class of people really gave
us some encouragement in doing our work While there was a chunk of the population
who cold not think of quitting yet there was this segment( though small in size) which was
thinking of trying to qui smoking in the future. Their advice to non-smokers of not
smoking ever in their lives was a real pleasure in the truest sense. We were thus
encouraged to continue our survey.

5. Survey of students:
Our final class of then population which was to be surveyed was the student
population. These people were pursuing some or the other professional course like
MBBS or MBA, etc.They ahfttfd an annual family income of approximately Rs. 1-1.5
lakhs. Thus, they constitute the middle class of the Indian population.
When we interviewed these people we found that they usually take tobacco in the
form of cigarettes in the frequency of around 5 or more than 10 in some very acute cases.
The preferred brand was ITC king and WILLS but other brands like Gold Flake ,etc was
also common. The general age since these people have fallen into this habit was 16-18
years when maturity had not dawned into them and their friends helped them to smoke.
With regard to the addiction into this habit, the student population realize that they are
addicts and can't even think of leaving this habit in the near or for that matter in the
distant future as well. The student population who smoke feel that if they don’t smoke
they can't lead their normal lives. Infact, some of them have even tried to not smoke for
1-2 days and they have felt dizziness, restlessness, tension, etc. As pointed by one of the
students, he says that "something keeps pulling me to smoke."As regards to the dangers
to the passive smokers, the student en mass feel that one should not smoke in front of
those who don't smoke or have any problems to smoke. However there are some who
also say that the whoever feel like smoking should smoke and there should no be any
restrictions to smoking or consumption of tobacco n any form. This segment of the
population spends on an average Rs. 10-25 per day but some also spend around Rs.50-70
per day. For smoking .this segment of the population are fully aware of the harmful
effects that cigarettes smoking or for that matter the consumption of tobacco in any form
can cause to their lives Burt have no planned to qui this habit in future. Some of them
have tried to quit smoking but they have not succeeded in this endeavor of theirs. When
asked to express their opinion as to the observance of the WORLD NO TOABCCO DAY
on an annual basis, some of them wondered why there were such celebrations when there
were so many other crucial matters that the 4 government should tackle like
unemployment, etc. however, most of them appreciated this effort of the NGOs to
spreads awareness in the masses in this regard.
While we were interviewing the student masses, we felt the great difference in the
manner in which • were entertained in asking the questions from the awareness of
tobacco consumption. Unlike the lower class population where we were treated with a lot
of respect, the student population in general seemed disinterested in replying to our
questions. This was mainly due to the fact as w&jateiTlearnt that they had become tired
that every now and then they would be questioned by various groups of surveying people
on some or the other matter. Thus, they now abhorred the sight of survey people also.
However, one thing that was really troubling us was the fact that most of the people
whom we interviewed in this class of the population were addicts and could not quit it.
Also, they were spending a lot of their parent’s money in smoking or consumption of
tobacco in some form or the other. In most of the cases the parents did not know that their
children was blowing up their money in smoke. What a state ot shock these parents shall
feel when they see their children dying due to cancer which is one the aftermath of the
addiction to smoking? We really felt pity for the parents whose hard-earned money was
being blown up in smoke. However, there was good news from thettgos whose efforts
were generally appreciated by the students. Thus, we observed that these was general
awareness as regard the harmful effects of the consumption of tobacco in forms like
cigarettes, biddies, Pan Masala, etc. This awareness is not sufficientifi we have to spread
this message kiUhe youth of today should be given proper counseling to quit smoking.
Thus, we completed our survey on a positive note.
CONCLUSION:
From the survey that we conducted and the findings that we have put in tabular and
graphical format, we feel that there is a need to create an awareness to the perils of the
consumption of tobacco. The youth of today shall fall into the dark pit of cancer if effort s
to curb the spread of the consumption of tobacco doesn’t occur. We feel that it is the duty
of the students to stop the consumption of tobacco in various forms specially through
cigarettes as this is very high. This is because, the students are educated and fully aware
of the harmful effects of smoking. It is these people on whom India’s future depends.
Thus, we feel that the student population should go the illiterates who are gradually
killing themselves by consuming tobacco in some form or the other. The NGOs like
CPAA are doing a good job but nothing can be achieved without rte help of the people.
So, it is our duty to stop this suction of people into the deadly trap of cancer due to
tobacco consumption. So , we should take the help of NGOs to achieve this aim to make
the world a better place to live in not only for us but also for the future generations as
well. It was thus a very good learning experience for us working with this NGO
