World No Tobacco Day

World No Tobacco Day is celebrated on May 31 and was established by the UN. This day is intended to call people's attention to the dangers of smoking and raise awareness of the need to protect themselves. Each year about 6 million people die from diseases related to tobacco, which, in average, is responsible for killing one in 10 adults. This day also serves to remind smokers that after eight hours without smoking the level of oxygen in the blood normalizes, and with only two days without smoking their smell and tast can improve, and after three weeks breathing and circulation can also improve. Furthermore, without inhalation of the tobacco smoke and similar, the risk of stroke decreases considerably.

I believe all the people who really want to quit smoking, will be successful! Strong will and determination are key factors in the process.
