Anti-Tobacco Day, observed on May 31 as World No Tobacco Day, raises awareness about the harmful effects of tobacco consumption and encourages people to quit smoking and chewing tobacco. Governments, health organizations, and activists promote campaigns highlighting the deadly impact of tobacco on health, including cancer, lung disease, and heart problems.

It is the only legally sold product that kills nearly half of its users when used as intended. Despite this, millions struggle with addiction. This day serves as a crucial reminder that quitting tobacco not only saves lives but also reduces the global burden of diseases and healthcare costs.
