Abstract
Tobacco use and the subsequent health problems are of major concern today. Tobacco consumption has been identified as the single most preventable cause of death and disease in India. Different studies have proved that tobacco dependency and lack of awareness about harmful effects of tobacco are the major obstacle in the process of quitting the habit. The present study is an attempt to explore the tobacco dependence status and level of awareness among tobacco users in Jodhpur city. A cross sectional study was conducted amongst the general population who participated in various health checkup camps held in different localities of Jodhpur city. The study comprised of 500 subjects. Willingness to quit and awareness level of tobacco use revealed poor response among the subjects. There is an urgent need to take effective steps, especially in launching community awareness and providing clinical and psychological support to overcome tobacco dependence.
