| World No Tobacco Day 2012! |
Globally, tobacco consumption is one of the leading cause of cancer and reduced lifespan! The
global tobacco epidemic kills nearly 6 million people every year and is expected to kill up to 8 million people by 2030 unless we wake up and act!
Every Year, on
May 31, the world observes World No Tobacco Day, promoted by the WHO.
The objective of WNTD is to encourage tobacco consumes to refrain
from tobacco consumption and its related products for a period of at
least 24 hours. On this day, and throughout the following year,
WHO urges countries to put the fight against tobacco industry
interference at the heart of their efforts to control the global tobacco
epidemic.
Individuals, Government, and health organizations also promote health camps and rallies to create a tobacco-free
society. It's the right time when we can express our support to help create a healthy
and safe environment for future generations. Let us come up together, act and support the cause!
