Dr Tetseo stated that this campaign will cover all Tobacco free institutions in Dimapur district and this will also be replicated in other districts also. During the function Dr Tetseo also mentioned that tobacco is not only about health but it is also about civic sense and environment. He lamented that litters from taalab and tulsi have become the ugliest sight and a major source of pollution in the town and he encouraged the students to be agents of changes in creating a better civic sense. He also made an appeal to all the tobacco free institutions to cooperate on this campaign.
