@GillianMacMSP @Ross_Greer Great to have your support Gillian!

I am pleased to be supporting @ASHScotland's ‘Quit and Win’ campaign for this year’s No Smoking Day. The campaign highlights that an average smoker who gives up tobacco could save £3,332 after a year, reduce feelings of anxiety and decrease the risk of coronary heart disease.

Thank you to all the MSPs, including Minister for Public Health @jenni_minto and event sponsor @GillianMacMSP who supported us and people who want to stop smoking on No Smoking Day! #NoSmokingDay #NSD26

Today we celebrate the 21st Anniversary to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control! 🎉🌍 For more than two decades, this landmark treaty has stood as a powerful force in protecting present and future generations from the devastating health, social, environmental, and economic consequences of tobacco use. 🚭💙🛡️ Since its adoption, the WHO FCTC has united countries around a shared commitment to evidence-based policies — from smoke-free environments 🚭 and strong health warnings ⚠️ to tobacco taxation 💰 and advertising bans 📵. Its impact has saved millions of lives, strengthened national public health systems 🏥, and advanced global health equity ⚖️. As we celebrate 21 years of progress ✨, we renew our collective determination to confront emerging challenges, counter industry interference, and accelerate action toward a tobacco-free world. 🌱 Here’s to continued collaboration 🤝, bold leadership 🌟, and a healthier future for all! 🌎💚 #FCTCSavesLives 🔗fctc.who.int/convention
