World no tobacco day 2022
Introduction: Every year world no tobacco day is celebrated/observed on 31 May. Its also called as anti-tobacco day.
Theme for anti-tobacco day 2021 was - “Commit to quit”.
Theme for anti-tobacco day 2022 or theme for world no tobacco day 2022 is - “Tobacco: Threat to our environment”.
As we all know very well that tobacco is dangerous for our health. It kills more than 7 million people every year. Today we are going to discuss how tobacco is dangerous for our environment.
This year theme campaign is to protect the environment.
-The campaign is aimed to raise awareness among the public on the environmental impacts of tobacco.
-This year campaign is to expose tobacco industries effort to “greenwash” its reputation and products by marketing themselves as environmentally friendly.
Why tobacco is threat to our environment?
-Around 3.5 million hectares of land are destroyed for tobacco growing each year.
“Growing tobacco contributes to global warming”.
-Deforestation from tobacco plantations promotes soil degradation.
-This further leads to “failing yields” or the capacity of any other crops or vegetation.
-The environmental impacts of growing and consuming tobacco add huge burden and contributes to degradation of our planet on the fragile ecosystem.
-Tobacco is especially dangerous for developing countries, as that’s where most of the tobacco production happens (90% approximately)
“Tobacco is seen as a cash crop”
Short term gain but long-term pain/loss.
Long-term losses of tobacco: In long term tobacco growth causes decreased fertility of the soil and slowly decreases the yields of other crops, this adds to food insecurity, frequent sustained farmers debt, poverty among farm workers and finally farmers’ suicide.
Reducing tobacco growing and consumption have been identified as a key lever for achieving all of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Points you need to remember:
• First time World no tobacco day was celebrated - April 7, 1988
• In 2003, World health Organization (WHO) Member States unanimously adopted the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHOFCTC)
• Global Tobacco Industry is responsible for 8.76 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent emission.
• For every 400-600 cigarettes produced one tree is sacrificed.
Tobacco uses in India
-India is the 2nd largest producer, 2nd largest consumer & 2nd largest exporter of tobacco in the world.
-There are approximately 4-5 crore people engaged in tobacco cultivation and industries.
Problems due to tobacco in India :
-India faces a dual burden of tobacco use in the form of smoking and smokeless tobacco (i.e., tobacco chewing)
-Approximately 28 crore people consume tobacco in India
-Every year approximately 9.3 lakh die due to smoking, 3.5 lakh by smokeless tobacco and total of 12.8 lakh deaths per year.
Conclusion: There is no such thing as an environmentally neutral/safe tobacco industry. Tobacco industries not only destroys human but our planet as well.
