World No
Tobacco Day (
WNTD is observed around the world every year on May
31.
It is intended to encourage a 24-hour period of abstinence from all forms of tobacco consumption around the world.
The day is further intended to draw attention to the widespread prevalence of tobacco use and to negative health effects, which currently lead to nearly 6 million deaths each year worldwide, including 600,000 of which are the result of non-smokers being exposed to second-hand smoke.
The member states of the World Health Organization (WHO) created World No Tobacco Day in 1987.
