Smoking and Vaping: Public Health Campaign Marks World No Tobacco Day

Smoking remains a major public health concern globally, with health experts warning about the risks associated with tobacco and nicotine use.

Despite clear warning labels on cigarette packs, many individuals continue to smoke, exposing themselves to serious long-term health complications.

Commemorated annually on May 31, the World No Tobacco Day is aimed at raising awareness about the dangers of tobacco use and encouraging people to quit smoking.

Health professionals note that beyond traditional cigarettes, newer products such as vapes, hookah, and nicotine pouches are increasingly popular—especially among young people—though they are often mistakenly believed to be safer alternatives.
