Message of the Regional Director, Dr Matshidiso Moeti, on World No Tobacco Day

We mark this year’s World No Tobacco Day as the 77th World Health Assembly is being held. In the opening session of the Assembly, WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus highlighted that “tobacco use is declining in 150 countries, and there are now 19 million fewer smokers globally than there were two years ago.”

This day provides us the opportunity to continue highlighting the dangers associated with tobacco use and exposure to tobacco smoke.
