World No Tobacco Day

Today is World No Tobacco Day (WNTD), an observance celebrated anually every May 31.

Started in 1989, it encourages a 24-hour abstinence from all form of tobacco consumption.

Over 5million people die every year from tobacco-related illness, and some 600,000 people, including children, will die from exposure to second-hand smoke. Secondhand smoke is more dangerous than actual smoking because one could inhale the toxin deposits of a smoker.

Quitting cigarette smoking means continuing to live your life. Continuing to smoke means quitting to live.
