World No Tobacco Day 2025

On the occasion of World No Tobacco Day on May 31, the Health Unit of the City of Fleurus, with the support of the Belgian Lung Foundation and the asbl BPCO, is launching a new awareness-raising tool:

A World Without Tobacco: a free educational workbook for children, accessible to all.

Every year in Belgium, nearly 20,000 deaths are directly linked to tobacco use. Smoking remains the leading preventable cause of chronic diseases, cancers, and premature deaths. It is a major public health issue.

“Seeing smoking encourages smoking”

That’s why we must protect young people by creating environments where tobacco has no place. Change is possible, together, by informing, supporting, and taking action.
