On May 31, 2012, the World Health
Organization (WHO) celebrates World No Tobacco Day highlighting the health risks associated with tobacco use and advocating
for effective policies to reduce consumption. This year’s theme for WNTD is
“tobacco industry interference.”
Considering that tobacco kills nearly 6
million people worldwide each year, the need for global action is crucial. This
is more than the entire population of the state of Colorado. Tobacco use remains
the leading preventable cause of death.
Despite
the progress that has been made at the local, national and global levels, there
is still a great deal of work to be done.
Learn
more about World No Tobacco Day and take action now.
