The *Jammu and Kashmir administration has declared Gulmarg and Tangmarg as Tobacco-Free Zones ahead of the much-anticipated Khelo India Winter Games 2025* .
This move aligns with the ‘Nasha Mukt Jammu & Kashmir Abhiyan,’ aiming to curb tobacco use and ensure a clean, healthy atmosphere for tourists, athletes, and locals alike.
The decision stems from the well-established harmful effects of tobacco, which is a major risk factor for various non-communicable diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular ailments, and lung disorders. Additionally, tobacco use, particularly spitting, contributes to the spread of infectious diseases such as swine flu, tuberculosis, and pneumonia.
