World No Tobacco Day May 31 Worldwide

World No Tobacco Day is an initiative of the World Health Organization (WHO) and this year's focus is on the need to expose and counter the tobacco industry's "attempts to undermine the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) because of the serious danger they pose to public health." The WHO reports one billion people could die during this century because of tobacco use. http://www.who.int/tobacco/wntd/2012/announcement/en/index.html
