World No Tobacco Day has been celebrated on May 31 every year since 1987. In this regard, the Ministry of Health and Medical Industry of Turkmenistan together with the WHO Country Office launched a month of thematic activities from May 1. This is reported by Orient news.
On May 1, the Ministry of Health held events for children promoting the basic principles of a healthy lifestyle and the importance of regular physical exercise.
This year's concept for the celebration is focused on finding alternatives to tobacco farming. Tobacco Free Farms is an initiative first launched in Kenya that aims to help farmers transition to growing a variety of alternative crops instead of tobacco.
