They are, however, easily detectable using screening techniques. Given the impact of tobacco use on young adults, it is critical to understand what factors influence the initiation process during adolescence. Though we have prohibited tobacco advertising and regulation in India under the COTPA Act of the Indian Parliament, all of us must come together and eliminate tobacco use in our city to reduce the risk of cancer. We at KMC will continue to serve the people of our city to the best of our abilities under the able leadership of our Hon'ble Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. While the number of cancer cases is increasing daily, it is also curable if detected early. Let us all join to make Kolkata a cancer-free city.”
