Every year, on 31 May, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) joins the global community to celebrate World No Tobacco Day. The annual campaign is an opportunity to raise awareness on the harmful and deadly effects of tobacco use and second -hand smoke exposure, and discourage the use of tobacco in any form. The focus of World No Tobacco Day 2019 is on “tobacco and lung health.” Find below information about the activities organized by PAHO and the communication materials that you can download and share.
