The Government of India has launched the Tobacco-Free Educational Institutions (ToFEI) Application, a digital platform aimed at promoting healthier learning environments in schools and colleges. Introduced on World No Tobacco Day 2026, this initiative is part of the National Tobacco Control Programme and seeks to strengthen adherence to tobacco-control guidelines across the country. The ToFEI platform enables institutions to conduct self-assessments, report activities, and monitor compliance with tobacco-free norms. Key features include tracking awareness programs, enforcing signage regulations, and prohibiting tobacco sales within 100 yards of campuses. The platform not only simplifies compliance but also enhances accountability and monitoring by authorities, leading to better enforcement of regulations. By creating tobacco-free environments, the initiative aims to protect students from tobacco addiction and second-hand smoke exposure, fostering healthier lifestyles. Additionally, the Ministry released a Standard Operating Procedure for the collection of tobacco product samples to ensure regulatory compliance and quality assurance.
