World no Tobaccoo day 2007

May 31, 2007 · Print This Article

Today is World No Tobacco day. This years WHO campaign is focusing on smoke free inside, and creative smoke free environments.

Tobacco is the second major cause of death in the world. It is well known that half the people who smoke regularly today – about 650 million people – will eventually be killed by tobacco. Equally alarming is the fact that hundreds of thousands of people who have never smoked die each year from diseases caused by breathing second-hand tobacco smoke.

Victorian has already taken this initiative and Victoria’s pubs, clubs and other licensed premises will be smokefree by 1 July 2007.

Got something to say?
