9. Global Trend

10. WHO has projected that the prevalence level in 2025 among males will be 31% and among females it will be 16%. Taking the years from 2010 to 2025, this means a projected relative reduction of 22% among the male population, and of 25% among the female population. The WHO would thus need to accelerate its efforts in tobacco control in order to achieve the global target of a 30% relative reduction by 2025. Historical background and Role of WHO

11. India-Current trend

12. Economic and Social Impact Across the globe around 3.5 million hectares of land are converted for tobacco growing each year. Growing tobacco also contributes to deforestation of 200 000 hectares a year. Tobacco growing is resource intensive and requires heavy use of pesticides and fertilizers, which contribute to soil degradation. Land used for growing tobacco then has a lower capacity for growing other crops, such as food, since tobacco depletes soil fertility

13. Economic and Social Impact-Contd. In addition to being a major consumer of tobacco, India is second largest producer of tobacco in the world producing 7,61,335 tons , with the vast majority of tobacco production concentrated in three states and employing nearly 25 million across the production value chain.
