He focuses less on what will be done and more on what will be done differently. I am optimistic.

Nothing about tobacco control, but good to see "intensified programs for prevention, control and treatment of noncommunicable diseases (diabetes mellitus, hypertensive heart diseases)" are there. And "intensified drug abuse prevention, treatment and rehabilitation
programs for adolescents in collaboration with civic societies".
