World No Tobacco Day: Smoke free cities of India
World No Tobacco Day (WNTD) is observed around the world every year on 31 May. The member states of the World Health Organization (WHO) created World No Tobacco Day in 1987. In the past twenty one years, the day has been met with both enthusiasm and resistance around the globe from governments, public health organizations, smokers, growers, and the tobacco industry.
