Policy analysis and communications

Public awareness of tobacco’s harmful effects is essential to lay the foundations for acceptable tobacco control policies and regulations. TFI works to ensure that tobacco remains in the public consciousness by funding anti-tobacco media campaigns and workshops undertaken by local, national and international groups. World No Tobacco Day, celebrated around the world on 31 May each year, is the culmination of TFI’s advocacy activities.

World No Tobacco Day 2004
World No Tobacco Day (WNTD) is celebrated around the world every year on May 31. This yearly celebration informs the public on the dangers of using tobacco, the business practices of tobacco companies, what WHO is doing to fight the tobacco epidemic, and what people around the world can do to claim their right to health and healthy living and to protect future generations.
