Tobacco and lung health
Every year, on 31 May, the World Health Organization (WHO) and global partners celebrate World No Tobacco Day.
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
The campaign also serves as a call to action, advocating for effective policies to reduce tobacco consumption and engaging stakeholders across multiple sectors in the fight for tobacco control.
