長期以來，吸煙一直是我們許多人都想改掉的習慣，但事實證明這很難。

好消息是，近來人們越來越關注戒煙者，并試圖實現無煙社會。

世界無煙日是為那些努力戒煙的人設立的，并鼓勵其他人也這樣做。人們想慶祝（建立）一個更清潔、更健康的社會。這也是設立世界無煙日的原因之一30 多年前，世界衛生組織發起了慶祝世界無煙日活動，鼓勵人們戒煙。

這是為了讓人們知道這種習慣的危害性，以及它每年造成數千人失去生命的事實。這個節日的重點是改善無煙環境和肺部健康，這在社會中發揮著重要作用。人們需要更好地照顧自己，這是他們實現這一目標的方法之一。

事實上，很多人都知道吸煙對自己有害，但他們可能并不真正知道吸煙的習慣會帶來哪些健康問題。世界無煙日旨在幫助他們認識到這一點，并讓人們有機會做出正確的改變。這樣，他們才能過上更健康的生活。

為了慶祝世界無煙日，人們應該幫助吸煙者減少日常吸煙數量。在接下來的一年里，他們會開始感覺更健康，更有活力，并省下更多的錢。那不就是有史以來最盛大的慶祝活動嗎？
