In today’s globalized world, cultural and ethnic diversity is a defining feature of societies. Leveraging this diversity can help address social problems and abnormal behaviors among adolescents. By focusing on effective communication strategies, we can engage our target audience, understand their needs, and create a supportive environment that encourages cooperation and advocacy for better policies.

Nicotine addiction is a huge problem in India, taking over 900,000 lives each year and trapping millions with cigarettes, beedis, gutka, paan masala, and khaini. I work as a smoking cessation advisor in the UK right now, helping people quit every day with plans that fit their lives.
