简要总结
The tobacco epidemics is one of the biggest public health threats the world has ever faced. According to the reports of WHO , tobacco is the single greatest cause of the preventable deaths globally. It is estimated that there are more than one billion current tobacco users in the world, of whom 80% live in low and middle income countries. in 2015 11.5% of the global deaths were attributed to tobacco use worldwide, of which 52.5% took place in the four countries (China, India, USA and Russia) . Unlike developed countries, where behavioral therapies and/ or pharmacotherapy is provided at little or no cost to patients, support services are very limited for quitting tobacco in India.it has been estimated that two-third of the world’s population seeks healthcare from sources other than those providing treatment with the allopathic system of medicine. In India complementary alternative medicine therapies which are scientifically appropriate and culturally acceptable like Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani-tibbi, Siddha and Homeopathy, have been practiced since a long time. considering the withdrawal symptoms of nicotine, among these therapies a promising and affordable option in context of India is the use of Yogic exercises. It is one of the traditional method to achieve good physical and mental health and thus compliance of the patients with this method of tobacco cessation is expected to be high.
Among these employees, bus drivers form an important group belonging to low-medium socioeconomic strata. they are exposed to high level of work demands. And hence more prone to the habit of tobacco consumption. Thus yoga may help in such low-medium socioeconomic strata in quitting the tobacco consumption habit.
Thus this study aim to assess and compare the effectiveness of yoga and behavioral counselling versus nicotine replacement therapy with behavioral counselling among Delhi Government Bus Drivers.
