My Song Selection Today Supports "World No Tobacco Day" 🚬

Today is "World No Tobacco Day" 🚬 on the "National Holiday" Calendar for Monday 31st May 2021. So I thought it would be useful to gain a bit more knowledge about this health related Topical event.

A few years ago I watched a TV program about the harmful effects of smoking. As the time I was a fairly heavy tobacco user for many years, and switched to vape. Now a few years later, I'm still vaping and feel much more healthy for doing so...

Below is some factual information for Today's event...


Each year, the World Health Organization (WHO) holds World No Tobacco Day on May 31. Their goal is to spread awareness about the risks of tobacco use and how we can make the world tobacco free. Roughly 6 million people die from tobacco-related ailments every year.

Sadly that number is projected to rise to over 8 million by 2030. However, this is by no means a guarantee. The Sustainable Development Agenda aims to reduce deaths from noninfectious diseases by a third.

Diseases linked to tobacco are high on the list, so if we hit the target, 2030 will be a year to celebrate (oh yeah!). Not only for our health, but the size of our wallets. Your average smoker drops around $4,000 on cigarettes annually.

Just imagine all of the other cool holidays you could enjoy with that money (we have a few suggestions, just saying). So let’s use World No Tobacco Day as a launching pad to a brighter and less smokey future!

Now for some appropriate Music...

My song choice Today, seemed the most appropriate title. As Tobacco Smoke really does get in your eyes, making them very sore indeed!

Sorry, you're out of LUV tokens to be sent today. Try tomorrow. (Having at least 10 LUV in your wallet allows you to freely give 3 per day.)

Tobacco is incredibly addictive, I would walk for miles to find a shop if I ran out of nicotine sticks! Vape was the ONLY solution for me, it still contains Nicotine, but at least I don't wake up coughing every morning anymore...

  • The best way is: DON'T START !
