About Us

Every year, on 31 May, the World Health Organization (WHO) and global partners celebrate World No Tobacco Day (WNTD). The annual campaign is an opportunity to raise awareness on the harmful and deadly effects of tobacco use and second-hand smoke exposure, and to discourage the use of tobacco in any form.The focus of World No Tobacco Day 2019 is on “tobacco and lung health.” The campaign will increase awareness on:

• The negative impact that tobacco has on people’s lung health, from cancer to chronic respiratory disease,
• The fundamental role lungs play for the health and well-being of all people.
