世界无烟日-今天你戒烟了吗

 　　World No-Tobacco Day 世界无烟日

　　5月31日是“世界无烟日（World No-Tobacco Day）”，自20世纪50年代以来，全球范围内已有大量流行病学研究证实，吸烟是导致肺癌的首要危险因素。为了引起国际社会对烟草危害人类健康的重视，世界卫生组织于1987年11月建议将每年的4月7日定为“世界无烟日”，并于1988年开始执行。自1989年起，世界无烟日改为每年的5月31日。

　　History

　　World No-Tobacco Day is observed around the world every year on May 31. It is meant to encourage a 24-hour period of abstinence from all forms of tobacco consumption across the globe. The day is further intended to draw global attention to the widespread prevalence of tobacco use and to negative health effects, which currently lead to 5.4 million deaths worldwide annually¹. The member states of the World Health Organization (WHO) created World No Tobacco Day (WNTD) in 1987. In the past twenty years, the day has been met with both enthusiasm and resistance across the globe from governments, public health organizations, smokers², growers, and the tobacco industry.

　　Themes-Discussion

　　Each year, the WHO selects a theme for the day in order to create a more unified³ global message for WNTD. This theme then becomes the central component⁴ of the WHO’s tobacco-related agenda for the following year. The WHO oversees⁵ the creation and distribution of publicity⁶ materials related to the theme, including brochures, fliers, posters, websites, and press releases. In 2008 for the theme Tobacco-free youth, Youtube videos were created as a part of the WNTD awareness⁷ campaign, and podcasts were first used in 2009.
