Society for Community Restoration (SCR) has taken the responsibility of community awareness. By taking responsibility Tobacco Free Day Campaigns 2010 was organized in Lahore and Faisalabad Districts.
It has seen so many children doing smoking as a fun first then they become addicted.
This is photo of Tobacco Free Day Campaign organized at Lahore Press Club. In this rally many other organizations joined SCR. It was a big rally campaign in which 1-KM March was also organized.
This is photo of Tobacco Free Day Campaign organized at Village (Rodee Chak) . It was one of community awareness campaign in which SCR teams visit the community and gives awareness at community door step.
In Villages "Huqa" (An Eastern smoking pipe designed with a long tube passing through an urn of water that cools the smoke as it is drawn through.) is very common. And It is more strange this that Children are asked to prepare Huqa for elders. In this way there is very easy access of smoking for children. It has been observed that during preparing Huqa, children take few puffs for checking purpose either it is fine ready or not.
In the above photo you can see Huqa and children (male+female). We also took them together in this campaign to give them awareness about no smoking.
The community people were very happy with this Tobacco free day campaign and they made promise to carry on tobacco free campaign at community level. And we achieved our goal.
