Description
A Usha Kiranmai and co-authors survey, in a 2025 study, tobacco habits and awareness among students in Gannavaram, India. Tobacco is a top cause of oral cancer, and its use has been starting younger. The team gave a questionnaire to school and college students in the area, in Andhra Pradesh. It asked how many used tobacco, in what forms, and what they knew of its harms.
Use ran far higher in male students, at about twelve percent, than in female students, at about one percent. Awareness of programs that help people quit was low. The authors call for stronger anti-tobacco teaching and for quit programs aimed at students in the area. The gender gap, they note, should shape how those efforts are built.
