Environmental Burden:
Avoidable environmental causes contribute to over 13 million deaths globally as per the yearly estimate of WHO. More than 90% of people are exposed to unhealthy air due to the burning of fossil fuels, and other social and commercial decisions that drive the health crisis.
Pollution and plastics also destroy our food chain due to their accumulation on the ocean beds and in the forest and mountains. Meanwhile, increased consumption of highly processed foods and an unhealthy lifestyle invites several diseases ranging from obesity to cancer.

Effects of Pandemic:
Global havoc created by the COVID-19 pandemic has underlined the existing health inequities in today's world and the urgency for interventions toward societal well-being and overall health.
Attaining equitable health not only fosters a sustainable economy but also helps set stable goals for future generations.
Attaining equitable health not only fosters a sustainable economy but also helps set stable goals for future generations.
Health Issues to be Addressed:
Some of the chronic health crises that require global promotion are:
- Need for pragmatism versus idealism toward public health.
- Real-time intervention strategies for tobacco harm reduction.
- Exploring comprehensive and technology-proven strategies against tobacco addictions.
- Better agreeability between the Indian Mental Healthcare Act and WHO.
- Impact of COVID-19 on cardio-vascular respiratory systems.
- Pre-requisites for holistic cessation programs for adult smokers post-COVID-19 recovery.
The above is the view from Dr. Nimesh G. Desai, senior consultant in Psychiatry, and former director IHBAS and Dr. Kiran Melkote, orthopedic surgeon based in Delhi, India, and member of Association for Harm Reduction, Education and Research.
It is also equally important to adopt alternative harm reduction policies and reformative strategies against the 'cessation only approach' for tobacco.
'One approach (may not) suit all' according to Dr. Kiran Melkote, orthopedic surgeon based in Delhi, India, and member of AHRER — Association for Harm Reduction, Education and Research.
This mandates the availability of alternatives like vaping, lozenges, heated products, and patches to adult smokers.
