World No Tobacco Day 2019
 |
It's primary focus is that of a vehicle by which a 24-hour period of abstinence from all forms of tobacco consumption around the globe may be encouraged.
Furthermore, the day purports to draw attention to the widespread prevalance of tobacco use and it's deleterious health effects which include second hand smoke disease impacts.
This day was encouraged by the World Health Organization and like so many worthless projects run by the United Nations the day has been ineffective because smokers are smoking regardless of those consequences to their health and the health of others.
It's about as useful as the "Just Say No" campaign which became known as the "War on Drugs" which did absolutely nothing except make the problem worse.
Politicians and the UN need to get out of these things which are so obviously beyond their scope and to which they may only rise to their level of incompetence.
