On May 30, 2026, the Sri Ramakrishna Institute of Oncology and Research (SRIOR) marked World No Tobacco Day with an awareness program focused on the dangers of tobacco use and cancer prevention. Commissioner of Police N. Kannan inaugurated the 'Cancer awareness spin wheel,' a digital platform designed to engage the public through a game-based approach. SRIOR director Dr. Guhan emphasized the importance of continuous public education, noting that the institution has promoted awareness for over 23 years through various media. The spin wheel categorizes tobacco users and provides insights into both immediate and long-term health risks, accessible in Tamil and English with audio features. Dr. Guhan also warned about the serious health risks associated with products like pan masala and gutka, stating that tobacco is linked to one in every nine deaths in India. To further support the initiative, Sri Ramakrishna Hospital is offering free oral cancer screenings and medical counseling for those wishing to quit tobacco, available four days a week. The program concluded with a vote of thanks by surgical oncologist Karthikesh.
