I thank our sir (at the factory) who introduced me and gave me a chance to quit tobacco. Tobacco is the greater evil and I shall stay away from it all throughout my life. I will also spread the message that people should stop using tobacco.

I have not had tobacco since the last 2 months now. At first, it was very difficult to quit – I was stressed but I strived to give it up. I suffered from mouth ulcers and pain in my gums. All that has settled now, the craving has reduced, I feel more energetic. The good part is my savings have increased, I now save more than Rs. 250/- per month.

In the wider scheme of things, we are all interconnected. To care for the welfare of others is the privilege of a few. Caring for the welfare of our colleagues and co-workers is not a duty, it is the responsibility that each of us, as employers, has to fulfill. The SMF’s Worksite Wellness programme gave me the opportunity to realize this wish for my employees – to create a healthier, happier team. In this lies the future of the country and its people.
