World No Tobacco DayWorld No-Tobacco Day

World No Tobacco Day is celebrated around the world every year on May 31.

The Member States of the World Health Organization created World No Tobacco Day in 1987 to draw global attention to the tobacco epidemic and the preventable death and disease it causes.

 

Tobacco: Deadly in any Form or Disguise

This year, the World Health Organization's theme for World No Tobacco Day raises awareness about the existance of a wide variety of deadly tobacco products and encourages countries to work towards strict regulations. Regulation should help people get accurate information, remove the disguise and unveil the truth behind tobacco products - traditional, new and future.

The World Health Organization has put together some information to support this year's theme. Check out the website below to learn more about the links between tobacco and poverty, print this year's poster or get some ideas for organizaing activities.

And remember, although World No Tobacco Day is only one day of the year, the efforts to spread the message about the dangers of tobacco use need to continue throughout the year.
