SMATS aims at generating a movement against tobacco use led by students. Tobacco-control is an ignored aspect of health in developing countries such as India where the tobacco-epidemic is unfurling at a rapid pace. By focusing on educational institutions we can prevent tobacco use amongst youngsters as well as prepare a cadre of tobacco-control activists over a period of time.

SMATS undertakes a number of programs for promoting NO-TOBACCO movements. It regularly organizes media campaigns in the form of poster and handbills. Educational materials on the health aspects are distributed among the youth to make them more aware of the ill-effects of the use of tobacco.

The members are primarily students of AMU. They are required to take part in different aspects of running of the organization, such as conducting of the health education programs, preparation of posters and handbills and their distribution, holding of awareness and check-up camps etc.
