Objective: 1. Educating the school and work sectors in Nigeria about the epidemiology of cancer and its preventive measures 2. Informing the school and work sectors in Nigeria on the danger and relatedness of tobacco consumption to cancer incidence.

Methods: Focus group discussions, seminars, and interviews

Results:

Starting from this grass root approach, I hypothesize that a success will be made to reduce and prevent tobacco-related cancer cases.
