The World Health Organization (WHO), as it does every year, celebrates World No Tobacco Day, a day where we remember and reignite the fight against tobacco use.
The WHO came out on Monday and stated that by the year 2030, 8 million people will die from tobacco products annually.
This is an absolutely astounding number and it served its purpose to get the attention of people around the world as we once again come together on this day.
This year, the focus is most certainly on increasing awareness and preventing the usage of tobacco products in new ways, specifically with the way in which warning labels are being used.
Graphic warning labels are believed to be things which can deter potential smokers from lighting up a cigarette, one after another.
Tobacco products such as cigarettes lead to the development of many diseases, including emphysema, lung cancer, as well as cardiovascular health problems.
We are seeing more and more cities in the U.S. banning smoking in public places, such as the new ban in New York City, as well as bans in countries around the world.
These efforts are what will be highlighted on World No Tobacco Day as we once again come together to remember and be aware of the dangers of tobacco-related products.
