Current Affairs - Important Days

World No Tobacco Day, observed on May 31 each year, aims to raise global awareness about the health hazards linked with tobacco consumption and to advocate for policies aimed at reducing its use. This day serves as a reminder of the severe health consequences, such as cancer, heart disease, stroke, and respiratory illnesses, caused by tobacco. Established by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1988, this annual event plays a vital role in promoting public health initiatives and highlighting the importance of tobacco control measures worldwide.
