Yellow green light up campaign to prevent from passive smoking.
20/11/2023
Yellow green represents the color to express “not wanting to be exposed to passive smoking”.
Until now, the development of the Yellow Green campaign has focused on illumination (or “lightup”) projects in Kyoto, Kumamoto, Fukushima and other cities, using designs suitable to eachlocation. Coinciding with World No Tobacco Day and No Smoking Week starting on 31 May
2024, the Yellow Green campaign plans to extend throughout the country to further highlightthe harms of passive smoking in everyday life. I request that the institutions and authorities
with the jurisdiction of illuminated facilities and infrastructure expand the Yellow Green
campaign throughout the country before and after May 31st (free of charge), linking these
events and publicizing them to the media. I kindly thank everyone for your support. Please also
promote wearing yellow green ribbons at your institution.
