The National Tobacco Control Program was launched in India in 2007-2008 in response to high tobacco use rates. It aims to reduce tobacco production and use, enforce advertising bans, help people quit, and implement the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. The program is implemented through a three-tier structure at the national, state, and district levels. Activities include education, cessation services, enforcement of laws, and coordination with local governments. Evaluation found the program helped reduce tobacco use by over 8 million people between 2009-2010 and its second survey period.
