Origin: For many years, it was not until the 20th century that human beings began to realize the harm of tobacco to human beings. From 65438 to 0977, the American Cancer Society first put forward a publicity and education method to control smoking-No Tobacco Day. On this day, the United States launched a nationwide "smoking is harmful to health" publicity campaign to discourage smokers from smoking that day, and shops stopped selling tobacco products for one day. The United States has designated the Thursday of the third week of June 165438+ 10 as its own No Tobacco Day. Since then, Britain, Malaysia, China and other countries and regions have also formulated No Tobacco Days. 1987, 1 1 year1October, the United Nations World Health Organization suggested that April 7th of each year be designated as "World No Tobacco Day", which was implemented in 1988. However, since April 7th is the anniversary of the establishment of the World Health Organization, on this day every year, the World Health Organization will put forward a theme health care requirement. In order not to interfere with the presentation of its health theme, the World Health Organization decided from 1989 to designate May 3 1 as World No Tobacco Day, and China also designated this day as China No Tobacco Day.
