( source: World Health Organization) NO TOBACCO DAY is celebrated every year on 31st of May. Initiated by World Health Organization from 1987, it draws people’s attention to tobacco addiction and shows how dangerous it can be, especially for young adults and children.
In 2008, the theme is “TOBACCO – FREE YOUTH” and campaign focuses on the following message:
“One of the most effective ways countries can protect young people from experimenting and becoming regular tobacco users is to ban all forms of direct and indirect tobacco advertising, including promotion of tobacco products and sponsorship, by the tobacco industry, of any events or activities”.
