Today is World No Smoking Day. No Smoking Day is observed around the world every year on May 31st since the World Health Organisation first marked the day in 1988.

When the No Smoking Day was first observed it was intended to fight off  the phenomenon of smoking in the 21st Century century.

Professionals advise “If you smoke you should forget about your bad habit for a while today. Accepting the World No Smoking Day, you will prove that you are a citizen of 21st century as well as build-up your strength.”

For the World No Smoking Day, Mongolia will launch a campaign under the title of “Let`s prohibit advertisement, sponsorship and support”.

Due to the new law on tobacco that has been enforced since March 2013, this day will be observed for information and promotion about the risks of tobacco use and new tobacco law realization.
