National Tobacco Control Program

The National Tobacco Control Program (NTCP) is a government initiative aimed at reducing tobacco use and its harmful effects on public health. It focuses on raising awareness about the dangers of tobacco, implementing policies to limit tobacco access, and promoting cessation support for those wanting to quit. The program often includes educational campaigns, regulation of advertising, and support for smoke-free policies in public spaces. By addressing tobacco consumption, NTCP seeks to decrease health risks associated with smoking, such as cancer and respiratory diseases, ultimately improving overall community health.
