No Smoking Day

No Smoking Day started out in 1984 and has grown in size and scope since then. It is celebrated in communities across the world trying to educate more people every year.

No Smoking Day is observed every year on the second Wednesday of March to raise awareness about the harmful health effects of tobacco via smoking and to encourage people all over the world to quit smoking.

What is also important to know is that while it may be a personal choice to smoke or not, when one smokes near another person -or even a pet – the second-hand smoke is just as dangerous to them. So, in fact, it really isn't just a personal decision.

The best way you can celebrate No Smoking Day if you are a smoker is to take the opportunity to choose to quit. It may not be easy, but it is clearly worth it as you will improve your health within hours and days of stopping.
