World No Tobacco Day says get ready for plain packaging

As part of World No-Tobacco Day, which is marked on May 31 in 2016, the WHO has urged governments to introduce plain packaging, saying this saves lives by reducing the demand for tobacco products. Plain packaging restricts or prohibits the use of logos, colours, brand images and promotional information. "It kills the glamour, which is appropriate for a product that kills people", said WHO Director General Margaret Chan in a statement. Approximately one person dies from a tobacco-caused disease every six seconds, equivalent to nearly 6 million people a year.

There is a plan from the Trudeau Government that would require plain packaging for all tobacco products.

Smoking in Australia has been steadily declining for years, but World Health Organization said 0.55 points out of a total 2.0-percentage point drop in the three years after the law was introduced in December 2012 could be directly attributed to the neutral packaging.

How about world Don't do Anything You Enjoy Cuz it might be Risky Day.
We can all stay home and eat kale and tofu and celebrate the fact that we’ve done as much as possible to avoid risks. This means avoiding things like driving, smoking, exercising, not exercising, eating meat, crossing the street. To better enjoy No Risk Day get a face mask with a filter, wear sunscreen, stay indoors just in case, don't use the microwave, don't bathe (most falls happen in the bathroom), and to cap it off make sure you have your gun free zone signs up made from splinter free recyclable plastic and biodegradable water soluble lead free ink.
