World No Tobacco Day 2024: Empowering Youths to Protect Their Health

The World Health Organization (WHO) has designated May 31, 2024, as World No Tobacco Day. This year's theme, "Protecting Children from Tobacco Industry Interference," highlights the urgent need to safeguard young people from the harmful effects of tobacco.

The tobacco industry has long targeted young people as potential customers, using deceptive marketing tactics to entice them into addiction. This deliberate targeting has contributed to high rates of tobacco use among youth, with many starting as early as adolescence.

World No Tobacco Day 2024 aims to empower young people by providing them with the knowledge, skills, and support they need to resist tobacco industry manipulation. The campaign will focus on exposing the tobacco industry's tactics, promoting smoke-free environments, and encouraging young people to advocate for policies that protect their health from tobacco use.

By empowering young people, World No Tobacco Day 2024 will help create a tobacco-free future and protect the health and well-being of generations to come.
