World No Tobacco Day(31th May)

 

Every year on 31st May, World No Tobacco day is organized by World Health Organization to promote the awareness about the risk related to the consumption of tobacco and its product and its ill affect on the family, society and environment.

Tobacco use and its consumption is one of the leading cause of many types of cancer, like lungs, larynx mouth, esophagus, throat, bladder, kidney, liver, stomach, pancreas, colon and cervix, as well as acute myeloid leukaemia. It is estimated that over 1 crore people are killed every year due to the consumption of tobacco.

Tobacco not only affects the health but also impacts the environment badly in many ways.

World No Tobacco Day 2024 Theme

This year, 2024, the World No Tobacco Day Theme is "protecting children from tobacco industry interference." The theme advocates for an end to the targeting of youth with dangerous tobacco products. The theme's motive is to raise attention to the tobacco industry's predatory techniques, which target young individuals to maximize profits over time.

Year By Year Themes for World No Tobacco Day:

• World No Tobacco Day 2023 Theme: We need food, not tobacco
• World No Tobacco Day 2022 Theme: Tobacco: Threat to our Environment
• World No Tobacco Day 2021 Theme: Commit to quit
• World No Tobacco Day 2020 Theme: Tobacco Exposed
• World No Tobacco Day 2019 Theme: Tobacco and lung health
• World No Tobacco Day 2018 Theme: Tobacco and heart disease

Importance of World No Tobacco Day (WNTD)

Around the world, about 35 lakh hectares of land are used for tobacco farming annually. The annual deforestation caused by tobacco farming is estimated at 2 lakh hectares. Tobacco production has a significantly greater devastating effect on ecosystems because tobacco farmlands are more prone to desertification (loss of biological productivity) in comparison to other agricultural activities such as maize growing and livestock grazing. In addition, growing tobacco requires heavy use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides that might result in the depletion of soil fertility, resulting in reducing the production of other food crops.

Sustainable food production in poor and middle-income nations could be jeopardised if tobacco were grown as a commercial crop. The majority (90%) of the largest tobacco-growing regions are low- and middle-income countries, where four countries are into the category of low-income food-deficit nations. 

In light of the above scenarios, there is an immediate need for legislative action to curb tobacco cultivation and assist farmers in transitioning to the cultivation of other food crops. World No Tobacco Day successfully achieves the aforementioned dictums by conducting campaigns with annual themes.
