World No Tobacco Day
Glens Falls – The Southern Adirondack Tobacco Free Coalition’s Reality Check group has marked “World No Tobacco Day”
On Thursday at the smoke free City Park in Glens Falls the group was joined by Mayor Jack Diamond to mark the day which encourages tobacco users to abstain from use of the products for a 24-hour period.
This year’s theme was “Tobacco Industry Interference” with those gathered talking about advertising and how it influences young people to become the next generation of smokers.
Currently, there are 5.4 million tobacco-related deaths worldwide. You can find out more about the Southern Adirondack Tobacco Free Coalition by heading to their website.
