International Smoking Cessation Day

  Every year, on the third Thursday of November, at the initiative of the International Society of Oncologists and with the support of the World Health Organization (WHO), the International Day of Smoking Cessation is celebrated. In 2024, the event will be held on November 21. The medical staff of the sanatorium "Krasivo" join the information campaign and have prepared lectures, talks, leaflets and videos on a significant topic.

   The purpose of the International Day of Smoking Cessation is to contribute to reducing the prevalence of tobacco dependence, involving all segments of the population in the fight against smoking, preventing tobacco smoking and informing society about the harmful effects of tobacco on health.

   The tobacco epidemic is one of the most serious threats to public health that has ever arisen in the world. WHO experts note that all forms of tobacco use are harmful to health, and there is no harmless dose of tobacco. In recent years, vapes, which are cigarettes with electronic filling, have become widespread. Smoking electronic devices is promoted as a safe alternative to conventional cigarettes. However, e-cigarettes are also unsafe.

   It should be noted that with good awareness of the dangers of smoking for health, people tend to get rid of nicotine addiction, but the habit of smoking is so strong that there is no way to give it up.

We urge residents and guests of the Donetsk city district to take advantage of this information and think about their health and the health of their loved ones!
