World No Tobacco Day Speech
Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, and fellow advocates for public health,
Today, we gather here to mark an important occasion: World No Tobacco Day. This annual event serves as a powerful reminder of the urgent need to address the global tobacco epidemic and its devastating impact on individuals, families, and communities worldwide. By observing World No Tobacco Day, the aim is to create a tobacco-free society, protect individuals from the harms of tobacco, and promote better public health globally.
World No Tobacco Day is observed on May 31st each year. It is an annual awareness campaign organized by the World Health Organization (WHO) to highlight the health risks associated with tobacco use and advocate for effective policies to reduce tobacco consumption worldwide.
Tobacco use is one of the leading causes of preventable deaths and diseases across the globe. It claims millions of lives each year, causing immense suffering and imposing an enormous burden on healthcare systems and economies. But beyond the statistics and figures, behind these numbers lie real people—mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters—whose lives have been tragically cut short or forever altered by tobacco-related illnesses.
On this World Tobacco Day, it is crucial that we come together, as a global community, to raise awareness about the grave consequences of tobacco use and advocate for effective policies that can curb its prevalence. We must recognize that the fight against tobacco is not only a health issue but also a matter of social justice, economic stability, and sustainable development.
The tobacco industry employs various tactics to promote and maintain its deadly trade. It aggressively markets its products, especially targeting vulnerable populations, including young people and low-income communities. It undermines public health policies, perpetuates misinformation, and seeks to perpetuate addiction for its own profit.

“Break the Chains: Quit Tobacco Today!”
The tobacco industry employs various tactics to promote and maintain its deadly trade. It aggressively markets its products, especially targeting vulnerable populations, including young people and low-income communities. It undermines public health policies, perpetuates misinformation, and seeks to perpetuate addiction for its own profit.
But we must not be disheartened. We have made significant strides in tobacco control, and we have the power to overcome this epidemic. It is essential that we remain committed and relentless in our efforts to protect our communities from the harms of tobacco.

“Breathe Free, Live Smoke-Free!”
Dear fellow citizens,
Today, on the occasion of World No Tobacco Day, we gather here to raise awareness about the harmful effects of tobacco on our health and well-being. Tobacco use is one of the leading causes of preventable death globally, causing millions of deaths each year. It not only affects the health of individuals but also puts a significant burden on the healthcare system and the economy.
World No Tobacco Day is observed on May 31st each year. It is an annual awareness campaign organized by the World Health Organization (WHO) to highlight the health risks associated with tobacco use and advocate for effective policies to reduce tobacco consumption worldwide.
The theme of World No Tobacco Day 2023 is “We need food, not tobacco” to raise awareness about alternative crop production and marketing opportunities for tobacco farmers and encourage them to grow sustainable, nutritious crops. This theme urges us to make a commitment to ourselves and our loved ones to quit tobacco use and help others to quit. Quitting tobacco is not easy, but it is possible with determination, support, and access to cessation resources.
As a society, we must work together to create an environment that promotes tobacco cessation and discourages tobacco use. Governments can play a critical role in this effort by implementing policies and programs that make it easier for individuals to quit tobacco. These may include increasing tobacco taxes, enforcing smoke-free laws, promoting comprehensive bans on tobacco advertising, and providing support for tobacco cessation programs.
As individuals, we can take small steps toward quitting tobacco. We can start by educating ourselves about the harmful effects of tobacco, setting a quit date, and seeking help from healthcare professionals, support groups, and quitlines. We can also encourage our friends and family who use tobacco to quit and support them in their journey toward a healthier life.
Let us commit to quitting tobacco and making a positive impact on our health and the health of those around us. Together, we can build a tobacco-free society and ensure a healthier and brighter future for ourselves and future generations.
Thank you.
