World No-tobacco day was observed across Jammu Kashmir on Friday with the renewal of the pledge to continue the individual and collective role against the smoking.

To mark the day, in the line with the charter of UN to raise awareness about the damages of smoking, special seminars, symposiums and walks were held in different places. These programs were organized on government and non-government level.

Speakers highlighted the negative impacts of the use of tobacco to the smokers, causes of cancer and warned the audience about the mounting trend of smoking among children in the world which indeed, was a matter of grave concern for the parents as well as for the global and national level.
