The theme of World No Tobacco Day in 2023 is

The theme of the global activities of World No Tobacco Day in 2023 is "Planting food, not tobacco".

World No Tobacco Day originated from the 6th International Conference on Smoking and Health 1987+0 1 held by the World Health Organization (WHO) in Tokyo, Japan in June. It was suggested at the conference that the festival should be held on April 7th every year, starting from June 1988, but starting from June 1989, the World No Tobacco Day will be changed to annual.

Tobacco dependence is a chronic disease, and tobacco harm is one of the most serious public health problems in the world. Smoking and secondhand smoke seriously endanger human health. To realize a smoke-free world, it is undoubtedly necessary for human beings to reach an agreement on the truth that "smoking is not good" and "tobacco is a drug".

Dr. Ruediger Krech, Director of Health Promotion Department of WHO, said: "The global decline in tobacco use shows that governments can protect the well-being of their citizens and communities if they take and strengthen comprehensive evidence-based actions." At the same time, governments have set a goal of reducing the global tobacco use rate by 30% by 2025.
