The Syrian Future Movement affirms that World No Tobacco Day, celebrated on May 31 of each year, represents an important milestone in the global health awareness journey and an opportunity to strengthen community awareness about the dangers of smoking and its devastating impact on public health and the environment.
The Syrian Future Movement stresses that the choice of this day was not arbitrary but a response to an urgent need to combat this harmful habit, which kills millions worldwide and increases the health and economic burdens on all societies, including Syria, which needs to enhance public health as part of its reconstruction efforts.
The Syrian Future Movement believes that enhancing the observance of this day in Syria constitutes a fundamental step towards a healthier and cleaner future, through the launch of large-scale awareness campaigns targeting all segments of society and aiming to provide real support for those wishing to quit smoking by offering suitable rehabilitation and treatment programs.
The Syrian Future Movement believes that combating smoking requires the concerted efforts of everyone, individuals and institutions alike. It also calls for the enactment of legislation that limits smoking in public places and the implementation of stricter policies to regulate tobacco consumption, in line with the right of citizens to a healthy, toxin-free environment.
The Syrian Future Movement calls on all citizens to actively contribute to spreading awareness about this vital issue and to consider World No Tobacco Day a starting point for a brighter future, where lives are protected, and public health is preserved from preventable dangers.
