From March 25 to March 31, 2024, a Week of addiction withdrawal is held in the sanatorium "Krasivo"

According to official statistics, over the years of the state policy aimed at protecting citizens from alcohol consumption, tobacco smoke and the consequences of tobacco use, the prevalence of smoking and alcohol in the country has been steadily decreasing. In recent years, there has been a slowdown in the rate of decline in the prevalence of cigarette smoking, but an increase in the consumption of other nicotine-containing products: vapes, electronic cigarettes, tobacco heating products, hookahs and smokeless tobacco.

There remains insufficient awareness among the population that these products, due to the content of highly toxic nicotine, cause addiction and other diseases caused by toxins contained in tobacco smoke. This is facilitated by the aggressive marketing of these products by tobacco companies, aimed primarily at teenagers and young people.

This festive week, information events are held in the sanatorium "Krasivo" under various slogans – "Sport prolongs life", "Replace a cigarette with a candy", "Smoking is not fashionable" and others. Doctors have prepared lectures, talks, leaflets, films and videos about the dangers of smoking. Everyone can get specific recommendations that will help to cope with addiction. Remember that your health is only in your hands!
