World No Tobacco Day

 

This year's World No Tobacco Day on May 31 is focused on tobacco company interference and the way it impacts the worldwide tobacco epidemic.  In recognition of this global campaign, we are offering free brochures to the community to help raise awareness and offer actionable tips to reduce tobacco use at an individual, community and global level.  Contact HC DrugFree at info@hcdrugfree.org to receive a free copy of any of these titles.

 

 

  

 

El D�a Mundial Sin Tabaco

 

El tabaco mata hasta la mitad de los fumadores. Sin embargo, se consume habitualmente en todo el mundo debido a que se vende a bajo precio, se comercializa de forma agresiva, no se toma conciencia sobre los peligros que entra�a y las pol�ticas p�blicas contra su consumo son incoherentes. Este a�o el D�a Mundial Sin Tabaco ser� el 31 de mayo y en recognici�n de esta campa�a global estamos ofreciendo folletos gratuitos. Para recibir copia gratuita de cualquiera de estos folletos contacte a HC DrugFree al info@hcdrugfree.org o al 443-325-0040 (se puede dejar mensaje en espa�ol).
