World No Tobacco Day Posters 

World No Tobacco Day 2020 posters aim at creating awareness among the new generation regarding the propaganda and marketing done by the tobacco industry. WHO talked about how each year, tobacco usage leads to the deaths of 8 million people. World Health Organisation said that to fill the gap created by these 8 million people entering an early grave, the tobacco companies come up with ways to rope in new customers to their cause. These ways include the use of social media influencers, heavy marketing, campaigns, etc. 

These year's theme of the No Tobacco Day focuses on how new generations are attracted to tobacco products. It talks about how companies influence new customers and thus, on this year's posters, people can see children who are smoking. Here are the posters by the World Health Organisation:

Tobacco has the potential to cause cancer and it has been proven medically. Smoking has several ill effects that range from a reduced breathing capacity of lungs to premature ageing. It also leads to chronic respiratory diseases because smoking creates tar which directly affects the lungs, and lungs play a very important role in our overall health. One must avoid smoking and either active smoking or passive smoking, for the sake of their loved ones and for their own health.
