“World No Tobacco Day”- Say No to Tobacco

WORLD HEALTH Organization (WHO)started the ‘World No Tobacco Day’ in 1987 and it takes place on May 31 every year to educate and encourage people to stay away from the consumption of drugs. This time focus will be on sex and tobacco and importance will be given to women marketing. Worldwide, tobacco use is the instant reason of death after hypertension and out of ten adults, one dies because of tobacco.


This important day can reduce health problems like crippling heart attacks, strokes, cancers and respiratory diseases that have become increasingly prevalent among women. So make this day special by quitting tobacco and say no to tobacco.

According to the WHO around 5.4 million deaths a year are caused by tobacco and every 6.5 seconds a current or former smoker dies somewhere in the world.
