World No Tobacco Day is an opportunity for us all
The 31st of May marked International World No Tobacco Day. This is a day especially put aside to highlight the dangers of tobacco. Cancers such as certain lung cancers can be prevented if individuals stop certain practices such as smoking cigarettes, cigars and the concerning and growing trend amongst young people, the smoking of the “hubbly bubbly”.
Education & awareness programmes are vital in making people aware of the potential dangers of tobacco. CANSA will continue rolling and running such programmes & campaigns throughout our Unit, which includes the Provinces of North West, Gauteng & Limpopo.
Although this day marked a special day against tobacco, CANSA runs anti-tobacco programmes throughout the year. It continues to reach thousands of people, in particular in communities that would otherwise not receive this information.
Let’s together use not only tomorrow but every day to make others aware of the dangers of tobacco.
