Stop Tobacco Circus.

Abstract
ON Tuesday, May 31, we will be celebrating the 2005 World NoTobacco
Day (WNTD), a day to look back and
check the Key Performance Indices (KPIs) in our attempt to butt out the deadly smoking habit in Malaysia over
the last year.
It is also a day of stern reminder for smokers to quit their dangerous habit.
Increasingly, WNTD has become more important for Asia, being the last frontier for the tobacco industry, which
has been booted put of their (Western) countries of origin.
A recent global report suggests that cigarette production per person has fallen to its lowest level since 1972,
which makes the tobacco industry desperate for new markets.
Asia, already the region with the largest number of smokers, is a convenient target since the level of
awareness of its population is generally low.
