On May 31, if you’re a smoker, put that pack of cigarettes away and go tobacco-free. May 31 marks World No Tobacco Day, a day to highlight the health risks associated with tobacco use and lobby for policies to reduce tobacco consumption. In Iqaluit, a community celebration to celebrate World No Tobacco Day will take place at the elders’ qammaq, building #226, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Country food, including maktaaq, Arctic char, bannock and refreshments will be served.
