World No Tobacco Day

Every hour 10 people die from tobacco-related diseases in Brazil. In the year that number reaches 200,000 dead due to the cigarette, but in the world rises to 4 million victims, or one every 8 seconds.

To combat smoking and to disseminate information about the harms caused by cigarettes, the World Health Organization (WHO) instituted since 1987, the May 31 as World No Tobacco Day. Yes, my dear. It’s today.

It’s the cigarette that needs you and not vice versa. See the gallery. Put it out of your life at once.
