Abstract
The population health is a critical factor that is affecting the global urbanisation and other
developments and is of utmost concern. This global development promotes unhealthy habits
and sedentary lifestyle. Hence, this negatively impacts the health of the population
contributing to the increased rate of morbidity and mortality. This makes promotion of health
and prevention of disease management a crucial factor that needs to be practiced. There are
several health promotion activities but, in this article, tobacco cessation is elaborately
discussed. This is because the increased usage of e-cigarettes especially at the adolescent age
hampers the health of the youngsters. Hence, awareness activities should be initiated to help
them abstain from tobacco and smoking.
