In order to create awareness on the hazards of smoking among non-smokers, voluntary organisations campaigned in rural areas of the state.

"We organised a seminar for the youths who are not yet addicted to smoking. For smokers, we will put up posters and billboards to make them aware of the harmful effects of tobacco consumption," said Rafique Islam of Broad Icon for Rural Dedication (BIRD) which held the seminar jointly with the Cancer Foundation of India.
