The World Health Organisation and its international partners observe World No Tobacco Day on May 31 each year. The World No Tobacco Day 2024 theme is to encourage tobacco growers to plant nutrient-dense, sustainable crops by bringing attention to alternative crop production methods and marketing opportunities. The theme of the event is “We Need Food, Not Tobacco”.
Currently, it is believed that tobacco smoking contributes to the deaths of 6 million people annually around the globe. As a result, the day is commemorated all around the world to promote 24 hours without using any kind of tobacco. Additionally, deterring tobacco use and raising awareness of its detrimental consequences on health are significant goals of the day.
Despite the World Health Organization's consideration of World Anti-Tobacco Day, it wasn't until all of its member states signed the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (abbreviated as FCTC) in 2004 that national tobacco control laws were enacted in each of the member states' respective countries.
There is no question that tobacco use poses a hazard to the public's health, but current measures to prevent tobacco use are insufficient. We have statistics on death and health risks associated with cigarettes. Additionally, it demonstrates how tobacco corporations control society, meddle in governmental policymaking, and make it challenging to put even cigarette control measures into effect. In addition to preventing the tax on tobacco products, the corporation is also the top VAT payer.
There is an urgent need to take action to create awareness at the public and policy-making levels about the harmful effects of tobacco cultivation, production, and use of tobacco products and tobacco waste on the environment. wishes diary has therefore created World No Tobacco Day Quotes, Captions, Slogans, and Statuses for public awareness and government attention.
