World No Tobacco Day


Every year, on the 31st of May, World No Tobacco Day is celebrated worldwide. And every year, the World Heatlh Organization (WHO) chooses a theme for it.

This year, the theme chosen is "Gender and tobacco with an emphasis on marketing to women".

Tobacco is dangerous to women and men of all ages. We know that.
Respiratory problems, lung cancer, death, etc. We all know its effects on our health.
Shockingly though, many people still aren't aware of the dangers of tobacco!
And worse than that, the majority of smokers know its dangers and continue smoking!

Personally, and as you might have guessed, I don't smoke.
However, I respect people's choice to smoke. They're free!
P.s. Half my friends are smokers.

Still, I think smoking is one of the worst inventions!

What are your views on smoking?
