World No Tobacco Day 
We were joined by Peter Ucko of the National Council Against Smoking. World No Tobacco Day will be celebrated on Saturday 31 May. This year’s theme is Youth Smoking. The use of tobacco products in adolescence usually leads to lifelong addiction in nicotine.
According to the CANSA website (www.cansa.org.za) recent evidence shows that about half of all persistent cigarette smokers who start young are eventually killed by their habit, unless they quit.
Tobacco is the leading preventable cause of death in the world. Tobacco use is said to be one of the biggest public health threats thee world has ever faced.
