Saying tobacco is ugly and deadly, United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon urged governments to
protect women from smoking as he stressed that an estimated 2.5-million deaths may be had among women by 2030, if no action is taken to decrease tobacco use.
Ban issued the call during Monday's observance of the World No-Tobacco Day.
“Evidence indicates that the prevalence rate of tobacco use among women is on the rise in some countries. Governments everywhere must take action to protect women from tobacco advertising, promotion, and sponsorship, as stipulated in the World Health Organization (WHO) Framework Convention on Tobacco Control,†Ban said in his message in observance of the World No-Tobacco Day Monday. - manila bulletin
