World No Tobacco Day – May 31st

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

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

Tobacco: Deadly in any Form or DisguiseThis yearly worldwide celebration informs the people on what they can do to claim their right to health and to protect future generations. World No Tobacco Day also educates people on the dangers of using tobacco, the business practices of tobacco companies and what the World Health Organization is doing to fight the tobacco epidemic.

On the International Scene for 2006

Tobacco: Deadly in any Form or Disguise

This year, the World Health Organization’s theme for WNTD raises awareness about the existence 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 WHO has put together some information to support this year’s theme. Check out the web site below to learn more about the links between tobacco and poverty, print this year’s poster or get some ideas for organizing activities.

For a successful World No Tobacco Day, as many people in as many countries as possible need to be involved. And although WNTD 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.
