The Calendar of Remarkable and Memorable Events. May 31
World No Tobacco Day was established in 1987 by the World Health Assembly.
Smoking is one of the most common harmful habits in most countries. Unfortunately, Ukraine takes one of the first places in Europe in number of smokers. Every second Ukrainian adult smokes. A very dangerous situation with the active spread of smoking among young people has emerged in Ukraine.
The objective of the World No Tobacco Day is to urge tobacco users worldwide to abstain from using tobacco products for 24 hours, an action they hope will provide assistance for those trying to quit. It is another opportunity for awareness of the dangers posed by smoking to health, to help people who want to get rid of this destructive habit and serve as a warning for those who have not tried smoking.
The fund of the Scientific Library suggests materials where you can find some information about the effect of smoking on the human body and the ways to get rid of this detrimental habit.
