Mint Ahmedabad
|September 15, 2025
Consumption of smokeless tobacco, a leading cause for cancer, remains one of India's biggest public health challenges, with more than one in five people using such products.
Consumption of smokeless tobacco, a leading cause for cancer, remains one of India's biggest public health challenges, with more than one in five people using such products. To tackle the crisis, the Indian Council of Medical Research's (ICMR's) cancer prevention agency has zeroed in on 100 high-risk districts across 14 states for a targeted intervention.
These districts account for 68% of the country's users of smokeless tobacco.
Besides smoke-emitting products such as cigarettes and beedis, tobacco is widely consumed in smokeless forms that can be chewed, sniffed, or applied to the gums. This contributes to about 383,250 deaths in India annually.

Vibe coding: Make way for intuition-driven software
New jargon emerges regularly in the world of software development. Most terms vanish quickly, but ever so often, a term bubbles up from the cultural stew and goes mainstream—not because it introduces a breakthrough technology, but because it captures a shift in how people think about software development. ‘Vibe coding’ is one such phrase. It’s a term that reveals more about the future of programming than its whimsical name suggests.
