Celebrate World No Tobacco Day – Make it your time to quit!
Every year, on May 31st, the World Health Organization and partners everywhere mark World No Tobacco Day.
This day highlights the health risks associated with tobacco use and
advocating for effective policies to reduce tobacco consumption. The
global tobacco epidemic kills nearly 6 million people each year, of
which more than 600,000 are non-smokers dying from breathing in
second-hand smoke. Tobacco remains the single most preventable cause of
death globally and is currently responsible for 10% of adult deaths
worldwide.
The ultimate goal of World No Tobacco Day
is to contribute to protecting present and future generations not only
from the devastating health consequences due to tobacco, but also from
the social, environmental and economic scourges of tobacco use and
exposure to tobacco smoke.
