“One puff of smoke, one day less in your life!”
World No Tobacco Day is
celebrated every year by the World Health Organization (WHO) on 31 May &
for the year 2019 the focus is on “tobacco & lung health.” It is an annual
awareness day that is intended to point the various health risks that are associated
with the usage of tobacco and also to discourage the use of tobacco in any
forms. World No Tobacco Day encourages the government to undertake effective
policies in order to reduce smoking and also using other tobacco products.
The slogan of World No Tobacco
Day 2019 is intended to draw attention to the role of lungs in the human body
and also the wellbeing of the population at large. The WHO on the World No Tobacco
Day speaks about how harmful the usage of tobacco can be on human lungs and the
consumption of the same should be stopped immediately. As per WHO, using
tobacco kills almost 7 million people each year around the world & the
number is only expected to grow more if no anti-tobacco actions are taken into
consideration.
Thus the slogan “tobacco
& lung health”, acts as a call to adopt effective measures to cut down the
consumption of tobacco and fight for tobacco control.
