The inducements to higher salaries have left them with more faith in material than self. On the contrary, we have to make our youth aware of the state of the whole world and the wants of the mankind as a whole; of the precariousness of our exclusive national prosperity and security in the midst of a largely restless world. The World Health Organisation has made the answer abundantly clear. There is a global epidemic of non communicable diseases (NCDs). And the four primary risk factors for these chronic diseases- tobacco, alcohol and poor nutrition are typically initiated during adolescence or young adulthood, setting the stage for later disease. The younger an individual starts smoking and drinking, the greater the risk of addiction and chronic disease later in life. | | Keywords : | | - Future Generation,Chronic Diseases,Tobacco Smoking,Alcohol Consum- ption,and unhealthy food habits,
