World No Tobacco Day is observed around the world on May 31 every year. It was started by the World Health Organization in 1987. It aims to highlight the dangers of smoking around the world. Another aim is to encourage people to stop smoking and thus reduce the negative health effects of smoking. Around 5.4 million people a year die from smoking-related health problems. On World No Tobacco Day, the WHO presents special awards to organizations or people who have made great efforts to get people, especially children, to stop smoking. In 2008 the WHO called for a total ban on tobacco advertising. It said advertising was one of the biggest factors that made people take up smoking.

全世界人们在每年的5月31日庆祝世界无烟日。世界无烟日是由世界卫生组织在1987年设立的，目的是向全世界人民展示吸烟的危害，另一个目的是鼓励人们停止吸烟，以此减少吸烟对健康的危害。每年大约有540万人死于吸烟相关的疾病。在世界无烟日，世界卫生组织为那些帮助人们，特别是儿童禁烟做出过巨大贡献的组织和个人颁发特殊贡献奖。2008年，世界卫生组织号召全面禁止烟草广告，并声称烟草广告是导致人们吸烟的最大因素之一。
