Tobacco, Food, Smoking, World Tobacco DayAbstract
2023 is the year aimed to grow food, not tobacco, as a global campaign launched for awareness on WORLD NO TOBACCO DAY, a good initiative by WHO to think of better alternative crops and address the food crisis. It is appreciated and celebrated at countless scientific forums but awaits some practical implications of the thoughtful idea in low-income countries, which are the gross affectees of the tobacco epidemic. The International days there are recognized, but the objectives must catch up.References
