Clinic for Smoking


On the occasion of world no tobacco day, 31st May 2010. A smoking cessation clinic was inaugurated at Fortis Escorts Heart Institute by Mr. Bhavdeep Singh- CEO, Fortis Healthcare Ltd.
This Clinic will run every Monday from 3.00pm -5.00pm.

7 people die every minute due to smoking. Lung cancer risk is increased by 50-100% for each cigarette smoked and the risk of heart attack increases by 100% for each pocket smoked. It is known that 70% of Indian smokers want to quit smoking but do not know how to go about it.
This clinic will cater to the people who want to quit smoking by addressing their individual problems and by giving them medical and psychological support. We at FEHI have created special packages to address this problem and to help people to overcome their addiction.
