World No Tobacco Day 2006
Tobacco: deadly in any form or disguise
Date: 31 May 2006
Place: Celebrated globally
This year, World No Tobacco Day aims to raise awareness – especially among young people – about the great variety of deadly tobacco products. Using the slogan "Tobacco: deadly in any form or disguise", activities and events worldwide will draw attention to the following facts:
- Tobacco is deadly in any form – cigarettes, pipes, waterpipes, snuff, bidis, kreteks, etc.
- Tobacco is deadly in any disguise – "light and mild", "low-tar", "organic", flavoured, etc.
With this theme for World No Tobacco Day 2006, WHO urges governments to regulate all tobacco products strictly.
