31 May is World No Tobacco Day. It is organized by the World Health Organization to highlight the health and other risks associated with tobacco use, and advocate for effective policies to reduce tobacco consumption.

In support of World No Tobacco Day, the Cochrane Library presents a Special Collection which highlights a selection of new or recently updated clinically relevant Cochrane Reviews that look at potential ways to help people quit smoking, including behavioural and medical interventions and help from healthcare professionals and for specific populations, and at the benefits of quitting for peoples’ mental health. The Cochrane Reviews in this collection are maintained by the Cochrane Tobacco Addiction Group.
