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 10 million people die every year due to the consumption of tobacco.

Tobacco not only affects the health of individuals but also impacts the environment badly in terrible ways.

The Theme for this year, 2023 is “WE NEED FOOD, NOT TOBACCO”.

The theme intends to get tobacco producers to adopt sustainable and nutritious crops by providing awareness concerning marketing options and production alternatives.

Smoking and using hard drugs are now regarded as a lifestyle among our youths.

If you do not smoke or take drugs, then you are considered not to be in vogue.

Silly and reckless lifestyle

Tobacco products are the most littered item on the planet, containing over 7000 toxic chemicals, which leech into our environment when discarded. Roughly 4.5 trillion cigarette filters pollute our oceans, rivers, city sidewalks, parks, soil and beaches every year

Correct, hope those tobacco and Marijuana smokers will change their ways.
They will not eat good food but would rather use the money to but tobacco or Marijuana not minding the health implications.

WHO promoted COVID, yet it was manufactured to steal, kill and destroy.

Now I eat what WHO says do not eat, and reject what WHO says eat.

Now, I will buy more Tobacco, may be there is something it is curing naturally and the WHO and their Oligarch Capitalists do not want me to know.

We are living in a world full of deceit, I still don't understand why we keep condemning consumption of what we are producing often, once there is a production, there will always be a demand and supply.
