Events & Calendar

This year’s theme for World Tobacco Day, which takes place annually on 31 May, is  "Tobacco Health Warnings". Tobacco health warnings appear on packs of cigarettes and are among the strongest defenses against the global epidemic of tobacco. Warnings that contain both pictures and words are considered by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the most effective at convincing people to quit.
