ICAT is a worldwide, unaided Voluntary Support Group for tobacco control. It is also a sponsored member of INGCAT (International Non-Governmental Coalition Against Tobacco) France, and works in wholesome harmony to complement the common cause of curbing the growing menace of tobacco hazards. SUPPORT GROUP ICAT is a support group to any activity for tobacco control, happening more specifically in the developing world. Extending support to Public demonstrations, advocacy, strengthening and collating regional anti-tobacco campaigns, unifying isolated anti-tobacco activities in a region, are some of the highlight-aims ICAT is working on.
Involving Children and Youth in this movement is one of the chief aims
of ICAT. For seeking their participation in the campaign, ICAT conceives student-interest
activities on anti-tobacco theme and simultaneously disseminate information about tobacco
hazards.
To lobby for legislations, public opinion and forming a political consensus to ban tobacco
sponsored events, misleading tobacco promotion campaigns, sale or free distribution of
tobacco products to minors
ADVOCACY : this is another area where ICAT wishes to work in more
focussedly in future. Presently not much has happened on this front.
