Each year, tobacco use results in 5.4 million deaths worldwide. Indiana joins the rest of the world in celebrating World No Tobacco Day on May 31.
This global health observation was created to teach people about the dangers of tobacco use; to highlight public health efforts in the fight against the tobacco epidemic; and to encourage a 24-hour period of abstinence from all forms of tobacco consumption across the globe.
The Indiana Tobacco Quitline is a free phone-based counseling service that helps Indiana smokers quit. For support information call 1-800-QUIT-NOW or go to www.indianatobaccoquitline.net/ or www.quitnowindiana.com
