WHO recognizes World No Tobacco Day (WNTD) each year on 31 May. This year, the WNTD theme is Tobacco-Free Youth. This year's theme highlights two critical messages:
(1) tobacco marketing can contribute to disability and death, and (2) complete ban on advertising, sponsorship and promotion are highly effective measures for tobacco control as they reduce experimentation and initiation in tobacco use.
In our efforts to join WNTD, we dedicate this volume towards smoking cessation:

• World No Tobacco Day, 31 May 2008
