Every year, the World Health
Organization (WHO) hands out
an award to the key person
that has helped make the
World No Tobacco Day (WNTD),
its theme and its
celebration a great success.
This award is a sentiment of
appreciation on behalf of
WHO to the great effort and
time that that person has
invested in the campaign.
This year, the WNTD award
has been given to Mr Mahmoud
El-Khatib, ex-Egyptian
footballer and Mr Imran
Khan, ex-Pakistani cricketer
to thank them for their
invaluable and generous
contributions to the Tobacco
Free Sports campaign.
