NO SMOKING!!

Today is May 31, World No Tobacco Day. 


Tobacco the word is actually leaves of the tobacco plant dried and prepared for smoking or ingestion.


Tobacco kills nearly 6 million people each year.


This day is marked by the World Health Organisation not just to avoid smoking for a day but to have a control on Tobacco consumption in people.


The WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) effectively protects people from the many harms of tobacco. It obliges its Parties to take incremental action against tobacco consumption, marketing and exposure.


WE MUST JOIN HANDS AND PLEDGE TO NEVER EVER CONSUME TOBACCO IN ANY FORM. And also we must take steps in discouraging those who are using it in any way.
