Promote World No Tobacco Day


Today is World No Tobacco Day 2010. This year's theme is Gender and tobacco with an emphasis on marketing to women. The World Health Organization says that the tobacco industry is targeting women to replace the up to half of current users of tobacco who will die eventually of a tobacco-related disease. The WHO urges governments and the general public to protect women and girls from tobacco marketing and smoke. Quit is a useful link.
