“Quit in June” 2026

The World Health Organization has marked 31 May as World No Tobacco Day (“WNTD”) annually. WNTD emphasises on the dangers of using tobacco products and advocates for effective tobacco control policies to reduce the use of tobacco products. The theme for WNTD 2026 is “Unmasking the appeal – countering nicotine and tobacco addiction”.

In support of WNTD, the Tobacco and Alcohol Control Office (“TACO”) has launched “Quit in June” campaign to call on smokers to make a quit attempt in order to reduce their risk of tobacco-related diseases and deaths.

Quitting is beneficial to smokers of all ages and brings immediate and long-term health benefits. Smokers who stay tobacco-free for 4 weeks would be 5 times more likely to quit for good.

There are more than 100 reasons to quit tobacco once and for all. During the “Quit in June” period, we will post reasons or tips to quit on the Facebook page of Centre for Health Protection.
