“…During this era, social and behavioral researchers, including health educators, conducted hundreds of studies on each of several focused techniques for stopping smoking (107,108). Smoking cessation research gained prominence with the growing recognition of tobacco as the leading cause of preventable deaths in western countries and from the concomitantly growing public demand for ways to quit smoking.…”

A lesson of the first half of the century was that growth and technological development brought new health problems and challenges in their wake, many of which were to prove more intractable to technological fixes than the ones that had been so dramatically fixed before. Massive expansions of resources in support of the extension of these medical fixes resulted in an escalation of costs that had to be reigned in by breaking from the resource-based planning cycle that had prevailed through two eras of expansion. The 1970s ushered in an era of cost containment as the central theme of new policies. They included provisions for health promotion that sought to find new handles on the intractable social and behavioral aspects of the demand for health care resources, especially through primary prevention and building of capacity for community, family, and individual self-management of health problems and programs. Lessons from this era for public health in the next century are considered.

“…In 1989, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation made a $27 million commitment to community-based, comprehensive substance-abuse prevention programs. Concurrently, a considerable amount of new research was being sponsored by the National Institutes of Health and the National Center for Health Services Research on the effectiveness of health promotion (e. g. 49,78,86,97). Data had accumulated showing that chronic diseases could be controlled through active involvement of people in their own health care, and that patient education, self-care groups, and community efforts through mass media and face-to-face communications could bring about significant changes in health behavior and reductions in risk factors (12,60,83,90,91,103).…”

Aim: To estimate prevalence and determinants of tobacco smoking and effectiveness of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) for tobacco cessation among college students in a private institution. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in Aditya Institutions for a period of 6 months. The data was directly collected from the students with the help of informed consent form, well prepared questionnaire and data collection form. The data was collected in suitably designed documentation form. Result: Two fifty students were included in the study, out of which 58.8% (n=147) students were smokers and 41.2% (n=103) students were non smokers. Out of 147 smokers 25.17% (n=37) students belongs to the age group of17 to 20, 42.17% (n=62) of students were in the age group of 21 to 24 and 32.65% (n=48) 0f students were in the age above 26. From Fagerstrom test, out of 147 tobacco smokers, 2%(N=3) of students were having high level of dependence to tobacco smoking, 3.4%(n=5) of students having moderate level of dependence and 94.5%(n=139) of students having low level of dependence. Reduction in the usage of cigarettes has been noticed after using NRTs in the student. Conclusion: There is an urgent need to curb the use of tobacco among the sub-groups of population with higher prevalence.Tobacco control policies in India should adopt a targeted, population-based approach to control and reduce tobacco consumption in the country. NRT appears to be an effective and safe approach to smoking cessation, along with behavioural modification and other pharmacologic interventions.
