World No Tobacco Day is May 31  

Every year, on May 31, the World Health Organization and partners across the globe mark World No Tobacco Day, highlighting the health risks associated with tobacco use and advocating for effective policies to reduce tobacco consumption. Tobacco use is the single most preventable cause of death globally and is currently responsible for killing one in 10 adults worldwide.

The theme for World No Tobacco Day 2013 is: ban tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship.

The Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department has educational materials and supplies to help you plan and promote your event. For more information, contact Samantha Yeun at syeun@tpchd.org or (253) 798-2931.
