About ICAT

...We wish to work together in the true spirit of cooperation and mutual respect. (Dr. Bobby Ramakant)

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.
