World No Tobacco Day 2024: Smoking negatively impacts the cardiovascular, digestive, skin, reproductive, oral, and immune systems, increasing the risk of various cancers.
May 31st marks World No Tobacco Day, a global campaign led by the World Health Organization (WHO) to raise awareness about the dangers of tobacco use and advocate for effective policies to reduce consumption. This year's theme, "Protecting Children from Tobacco Industry Interference," underscores the critical need to safeguard young people from the manipulative tactics of the tobacco industry.
The WHO emphasizes the vulnerability of children to tobacco industry marketing. Exposure to tobacco use at home or in communities increases the likelihood of children becoming smokers themselves. World No Tobacco Day 2024 calls for robust policies to shield children from these influences, preventing addiction, protecting their health, and building a healthier future for all.
