World No Tobacco Day is observed every year on May 31st which aims to spread spread awareness about the harmful effects of tobacco on human health. This year, the theme of the World no Tobacco Day is “Protecting youth from industry manipulation and preventing them from tobacco and nicotine use.”According to the WHO, 8 million people die as a result of tobacco use every year. It is well known fact that tobacco consumption leads to oral and lung cancers.The World Health Organisation passed a resolution in 1987 that announced April 7th 1988 as ‘World No Smoking Day’. This was done to motivate people to prevent using tobacco for at least 24 hours. The aim behind this was to help those who are struggling to quit the use of tobacco. Later in the year 1988, this international organisation passed another resolution that observed May 31st as the ‘World No Tobacco day.’ In fact, in 2008, the WHO banned any kind of advertisement or promotion about tobacco, thinking that probably the ads attract youth to indulge in smoking.
