World No Tobacco Day

World No Tobacco Day is observed on May 31 to raise awareness about the damage caused by consuming tobacco. Consuming tobacco kills over 80 Million people across the world every year. Besides the human cost, consuming tobacco also causes the environment to degrade. For this year, the theme is “Protect The Environment”. The harmful impact of the tobacco industry on the environment is vast and growing adding unnecessary pressure to our planet's already scarce resources and fragile ecosystems.
