Best Father's Day Gift: A Proactive Health Screening

Health isn't just a personal choice; it’s mandatory. When fathers take care of themselves, they are more present, more energetic, and more emotionally available for their loved ones. One of the most impactful changes a father can make is to quit smoking—not just for himself but for all who love and depend on him.

Smoking remains one of the most preventable causes of disease and early death. 

• Tobacco Deaths – Over 1.35 million Indians die every year from tobacco-related diseases. [Source]
• Cancer Risk – Smokers are 2.7 to 3.2 times more likely to develop cancers, especially of the mouth, throat, and lungs. [Source]
• Second-Hand Smoke – According to studies, 32% of non-smoking women in Indian households are exposed to passive smoking. This exposure increases the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke. [Source]
• Benefits of Quitting – Quitting before age 40 reduces smoking-related death risk by up to 90%. [Source]

These aren’t just statistics. They’re warning signs—often overlooked because the habit feels routine, the risk feels distant, and the damage feels invisible until it’s too late.

Be a Role Model: Quit Smoking

Fathers naturally become the standard their children follow. Whether they’re aware of it or not, kids watch closely—copying behaviours, absorbing habits, and internalising what’s “normal”. When a child sees their father smoke, that image leaves a stronger impression than any words ever could.

Choosing to quit smoking isn’t just about your health—it’s about the example you set. It reflects your strength, self-respect and the courage to make a difficult decision. You’re teaching your child that your love is stronger than any habit. You’re also shaping the story they’ll carry about what true strength looks like.

And it's not just about what you stop—it's about what you start. Quitting gives you the opportunity to be more active with your kids, to model better ways of coping with stress, and to extend the number of years you’ll be around for birthdays, school events, and everyday joys.

Turn Father’s Day into a Smoke-Free Milestone

“I’ll quit someday.”- It’s something many smokers say—but that “someday” often keeps getting delayed. Father’s Day is the perfect moment to keep that promise to yourself.

It’s a day full of love, pride, and the people who mean the most. It’s also a gentle reminder—your health matters. Not just for you but for the ones who need you healthy and here.

Let Father's Day 2025 be more than just a celebration – let it be a milestone.

If you’ve been thinking about quitting, use this as the moment to act.

• Talk to a doctor.
• Research support programmes.
• Or reach out to people who’ve successfully quit.

Every step counts… The first step is deciding to quit. The next important step? Understanding where you stand health-wise right now.

Your Family Deserves a Healthier You

Quitting smoking is a huge win. But if you’ve been a smoker for a while, it’s also important to understand what impact the habit may have already had. Preventive health check-ups are essential—not only to detect early warning signs but also to give you a roadmap for recovery.

A comprehensive health assessment can reveal:

• The current condition of your lungs and heart.
• Early indicators of conditions like hypertension, COPD, or diabetes.
• Your cholesterol and liver function levels.
• And risk factors for developing smoking-related cancers.

With this information, you’re no longer left guessing.

You’ll understand the steps to take and what progress to look for. Most importantly, you’ll feel more in control of your health.
