Abstract
Yesterday, May 31, was the 1996 World NoTobacco
Day. It is a day for all individuals, communities and
nations to take stock of what is happening around them as far as tobacco use, especially cigarette smoking, is
concerned.
This time around, the theme is "Sports and Arts without Tobacco." The World NoTobacco
Day was initiated by
the World Health Organization (WHO) to look into the progress made by each member state in the attempt to
eliminate smoking habits among their population. This is perhaps the only day in the year that the tobacco
issue is widely addressed.
For Malaysia, being a member of WHO, this event has special significance and this was demonstrated last year
when the government promulgated and implemented a series of measures to curb the spread of smoking
among Malaysians, especially in the young. The Ministry of Health in particular, has been the prime mover in
such efforts.
