[IARC @IARCWHO]

Inequalities influence who develops #cancer, when/if it's diagnosed, treatment, & chances of survival.
They exist between & within countries.
Whether someone survives cancer shouldn't depend on where they live!
The EUCan-Ineq project is researching this.

[WHO/Europe @WHO_Europe]

The tobacco and nicotine industry preys on youth. We fight back with #truth.

🌀 Sleek packaging, colourful vaping devices, fruity flavours—it’s all part of a strategy to hook young users early.

Marketing to youth isn’t #innovation. It’s manipulation.

#TobaccoExposed #WNTD2025

[EU One Health @EU_Health]

🚭 Today is #WorldNoTobaccoDay.
Tobacco is a leading risk for cancer.
With our #EUCancerPlan we are aiming for a 'Tobacco-free Generation' by 2040.
Let's create a smoke & nicotine-free world for future generations.

[Lung Cancer Europe @LungCancerEu]

Really welcome the spotlight @CancerPatientsE has put on cancer inequalities this #EWAC2025.

Their call to action covers a lot of important ground - esp glad to see smoking cessation included.

Tackling tobacco use means support, not stigma. It’s such a key part of #lungcancer prevention. #LCSM #WorldNoTobaccoDay

[European Week Against Cancer @EU_EWAC]

🎗️ It’s the final day of the #EuropeanWeekAgainstCancer!

🚭 31 May is #WorldNoTobaccoDay. Tobacco is the leading cause of preventable cancer, responsible for almost 20% of cases in Europe.

This #EWAC2025, we honour the strength of those living with & beyond breast cancer — and call for policies that reflect their real needs. We urge EU leaders to ensure:
1. Survivorship & workplace rights
2. Long-term support for patients & families
3. Improved symptom management

[WHO/Europe @WHO_Europe]

1 in 4 people in the WHO European Region are at risk of developing #cancer—yet harmful industries keep opposing life-saving policies.

We need policies that empower people to make healthy choices to help prevent cancer!

💼 Sabies que les persones supervivents de #càncer tenen 1,4 vegades més probabilitats de patir atur?

Cal posar el focus en els reptes que afronten els pacients per tornar a la feina.
