The Tobacco Intervention Initiative (TII) is a step towards taking dentistry, as
a profession and service to the community, to a new level. It is an ambitious step,
aimed at improving community health. TII will strive for a “Tobacco Free India”
by helping patients quit smoking and consumption of smokeless or chewing tobacco;
through certified clinics engaged in tobacco intervention. These clinics form the
supportive infrastructure of the Initiative. TII clinics are the stepping stones
for accomplishing our Vision.
The profound network that we seek to materialize through the TII website, between
the Community and Dental Professionals, provides a circulatory system for our cherished
mission and ideas. From all this, we hope to garner all the energy to fuel our country
to liberty from the darkness of tobacco...
