Today is World No Tobacco Day. The first World No Tobacco Day was held in 1988 upon a resolution from the World Health Organization (WHO).

This day draws global attention to the tobacco epidemic and to the preventable deaths and diseases it causes. It aims to reduce the 3.5 million yearly deaths from tobacco-related health problems and reduce individual tobacco dependence. This day represents a chance for eliminating tobacco-related deaths and diseases and for working toward a tobacco-free world
