Tobacco use significantly impacts health beyond lung cancer. It's a major cause of heart disease, stroke, and respiratory disorders. Additionally, it's linked to oral, throat, and other cancers, dental problems, infertility, complications during pregnancy, and can worsen chronic conditions like diabetes.

Effective strategies for quitting tobacco include seeking counseling or therapy, using nicotine replacement therapies like patches or gum, joining support groups, setting a quit date, avoiding triggers, and considering prescription medications under medical guidance. A combination of these methods often yields the best results for successfully quitting tobacco.

Individuals and communities can participate in World No Tobacco Day by organizing awareness campaigns, educational events, and anti-tobacco initiatives. They can also offer support to those trying to quit, share anti-tobacco messages on social media, and advocate for tobacco control policies in their region.
