he World Health Organization (WHO) promotes the World No tobacco Day 2023 in May. The theme of World No Tobacco Day 2023 is Grow Food, No Tobacco. Tobacco growing harms our health, the health of farmers and the planet’s health. The tobacco industry interferes with attempts to substitute tobacco growing, contributing to the global food crisis.
This campaign encourages governments to end tobacco growing subsidies and use the savings to support farmers to switch to more sustainable crops that improve food security and nutrition.
For the occasion, on 31 May 2023, the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (National Center for Addiction and Doping) in collaboration with the Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research and the Italian Society of Tobacco Studies (SITAB), organizes the XXV National Conference "Tobacco use and the National Health Service" which will take place on 31 May 2023 in the Pocchiari hall of the Istituto Superiore di Sanità. The conference will take place in presence and in streaming mode.
