May 31, 2010 is World No Tobacco Day (WNTD)

Events took place in the month of May as advocates around the world celebrated the 22nd anniversary of "World No Tobacco Day", sponsored by the World Health Organization.

Each year, WNTD selects a special theme. This year, the 2010 theme is marketing tobacco, especially to genders. Click here to learn more about the 2010 theme from the WNTD website. See below for the area events that have already taken place:

An event in March, sponsored by Campaign for Tobacco-Free kids, is Kick Butts Day, an annual celebration of youth leadership and activism in the fight against tobacco use. Click here to go to their site and read the NJ press release with the events going on around the state as well as the country.
