No tobacco day - Don’t let tobacco control your story

🚭 World No Tobacco Day 2025: Choose Health, Not Tobacco

📅 Observed on: May 31, 2025
🌍 Organized by: World Health Organization (WHO)

World No Tobacco Day is observed every year on May 31 to raise awareness about the harmful and deadly effects of tobacco use and to encourage people around the globe to quit tobacco for good. It is a powerful reminder that tobacco kills more than 8 million people each year and affects the health of millions more — even those who do not smoke.

In 2025, the message is louder and clearer: Let’s end tobacco addiction and protect our lungs, heart, and planet.

🚨 Why Tobacco is Dangerous

Tobacco doesn't just affect the smoker — it affects everyone around them. Here's how:

💀 Health Hazards

• Lung Cancer: Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer deaths.
• Heart Disease: Tobacco increases blood pressure, leading to strokes and heart attacks.
• Respiratory Problems: It damages the airways, leading to chronic bronchitis and asthma.
• Secondhand Smoke: Harms children, non-smokers, and even pets.

🌿 Environmental Impact

• Deforestation: Millions of trees are cut to grow tobacco.
• Waste: Cigarette butts are the most littered item on earth.
• Air & Soil Pollution: Tobacco farming and cigarette production release harmful chemicals.

🎯 World No Tobacco Day 2025 Theme (Expected)

While the official theme will be announced by the World Health Organization (WHO) closer to the day, previous themes like:

• “We need food, not tobacco”
