Abstract
In India, tobacco products are a leading cause of preventable diseases, including cancer. Because of the health risks to children, we explored compliance and implementation of tobacco control law in relation to educational institutes (EIs). We discuss an issue of accountability by an EI in relation to compliance regarding the prohibition of tobacco vendors in close proximity to the EI. We also discuss various studies highlighting poor implementation of the law prohibiting tobacco sales near to EIs. It is our recommendation that the tobacco control law in India should be strengthened to reduce preventable diseases, including cancer.
