World No Tobacco Day
Many governments within a cross continental perspectives are grooming both the media and other advertising bodies to tell the world about the dangers of smoking. Smoking is blamed for thousands of lung cancer related deaths though millions of people continue to smoke regardless of the imminent threat of lung cancer and other related ailments.

The event will blacken the image of the Tobacco industry and continue to blunt the vigor of smoking. Many players in the tobacco industry have not come out to create any kind of assumptions on their products and instead have over the years watched from a far as the world continues to blame them and cut down their income.

Passive smokers are at risk of death and even social isolation since most countries are endorsing a free-smoking environment. Many governments are spending heavily on raising the risks posed by smoking.
