Service Delivery: World No Tobacco Day: Unmasking the Deadly Appeal of Tobacco in Our Lives and Workplaces
As last week was World No Tobacco Day on 31 May 2025, we are once again reminded of the urgent need to confront one of the most preventable public health threats of our time. Tobacco use kills over 8 million people globally each year, and a staggering 1.3 million of those deaths are caused by second-hand smoke.
This year’s theme, “Unmasking the Appeal of Tobacco and Nicotine,” urges us to look beyond the glossy packaging and deceptive marketing tactics. It's time to expose the harsh reality: tobacco smoke contains over 7,000 chemicals, including tar and dozens of carcinogens, that are not just harmful to smokers, but also to children, youth, and unborn babies who are exposed to it.
We have a unique opportunity to shift the narrative, amplify education, and take action - especially in our workplaces. Forward-thinking companies are integrating smoke-free policies, providing access to smoking cessation programs, and embedding health promotion into their wellness strategies. Not only does this reduce health risks and absenteeism, but it also fosters a culture of care and productivity.
Guest: Dr Chris van Straten, Global Health Advisor Clinical Governance at International SOS

Raising A Child With Cancer – A Unique Journey
“Cancer in children is not preventable, meaning rapid diagnosis and access to high-quality care are critical for a positive outcome”, WHO 2023
The journey between illness, diagnosis and treatment is long, draining and challenging in every way. From a parent’s perspective. It is an expensive process financially, physically, and emotionally. Indeed, it is a lonely and trying time. Generally, no responsibilities can be put off until the child is better. There is work, other children, and family who also demand attention. The family often wishes to assist but doesn’t know how. The parents often wish for assistance, but frequently they don’t know how to help. Occupational therapy aims to ensure that the child has a childhood that is as close to normal as possible, considering the child’s health status and the family dynamic. The ability can facilitate coping and living for the child and the caregiver. To provide a child who is going through cancer treatment with a good quality of life through ensuring activity participation, the following factorsare crucial
While parents and children experience a lot of stress and complex emotions, both show an enormous level of resilience based on a positive attitude and a fighter spirit. As occupational
therapists, our role with the multidisciplinary team is to
help, especially siblings, to continue seeing the person, the individual, and the personality and connect with the cancer patient. This builds a support network based on relationships rather than a sick role. It relieves stressful emotions in both the patient and siblings. My message to parents: I would like to acknowledge how frustrating it is to juggle all these challenges and feel like one is not doing enough. I want to encourage you by saying that
