तंबाखू विरोधी जागरूकता अभियान


 डॉ. अनिल काशी मुरारका यांनी त्यांच्या अँपल मिशन ह्या संस्थेसोबत एक आगळीवेगळी मोहीम राबवली. ही मोहीम जनसामान्यांमध्ये टोबॅको संदर्भात जास्तीत जास्त जागृकता निर्माण व्हावी ह्यासाठी योजली गेली होती. डॉ. अनिल काशी मुरारका त्यांच्या टीम सोबत मुंबईच्या रस्त्यावर उतरले, वेगवेगळ्या लोकांना भेटले त्यांच्या आयुष्यातील  वेगवेगळे पैलूं जाणून घेतले आणि त्यांच्याशी सवांद
साधला आणि शेवटी नम्रपणे त्यांना धूम्रपान सोडण्यास आणि तंबाखू उत्पादनांचा वापर करण्यापासून दूर राहण्याची विनंती केली.

डॉ. अनिल काशी मुरारका म्हणाले, "तंबाखूचा वापर हा भारतातील एक गंभीर समस्या आहे. कमी शिक्षित आणि योग्य मार्गदर्शनचा अभाव, सहकारी दबाव आणि मुलांमध्ये वरिष्ठांचे अनुकरण करण्याचा आग्रह, गैरसमज, तणाव आणि विविध प्रकारच्या सुलभ उपलब्धता तंबाखू उत्पादने आणि नाविन्यपूर्ण जाहिराती लोकांना तंबाखूच्या वापराकडे आकर्षित करतात आणि बऱ्याच वर्षांपासून त्यांचा वापर आणि गैरवर्तन यामध्ये सतत वाढ झाली आहे. आपण जितके करू शकतो तितके आपण करावे, मला वाटते की लोकांना शिक्षित केले तर ते स्वत: ची मदत करू शकतात."
