World No Tobacco Day
On May 31st each year 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. WHO created World No Tobacco Day in 1987 to draw global attention to the tobacco epidemic and its lethal effects.
Great American Smokeout
The Great American Smokeout was inaugurated in 1976 to inspire and encourage smokers to quit for one day. The Great American Smokeout remains a great opportunity to encourage people to commit to making a long-term plan to quit for good. The event is held on the third Thursday in November each year.
