World No Tobacco Day is held each year on 31 May and is organised by the World Health Organization (WHO).
Now, tobacco use is the number one preventable epidemic that the health community faces. The World Health Assembly created World No Tobacco Day in 1987 to draw global attention to the tobacco epidemic and its lethal effects.
Governments use the tobacco control measures in the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) to reduce the prevalence of tobacco use and exposure to tobacco smoke. By implementing these measures, governments reduce the heavy burden of disease and death that is attributable to tobacco use or exposure. There are around 11% of people are protected by comprehensive national smoke-free laws.
On 7th of June this year, St. George College in Sydney will have a free BBQ for students and they will introduce its new anti-smoking policy at the same time.
