Every year, on May 31st, the world comes together to observe World No Tobacco Day. This day is an opportunity to raise awareness about the dangers of tobacco use and to encourage people to quit smoking.

Tobacco use is one of the leading causes of preventable death worldwide. It is responsible for over 7 million deaths each year. Tobacco use can lead to a variety of health problems, including cancer, heart disease, stroke, and lung disease.

This year’s World No Tobacco Day theme is “Grow food, not tobacco.” The campaign aims to raise awareness about the negative impact that tobacco production has on food security, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. It also encourages governments to implement policies that support sustainable agriculture and reduce tobacco consumption.
