From May 27 to June 2, 2024, the sanatorium "Krasivo" hosts a Week of tobacco cessation (in honor of World No Tobacco Day on May 31)

Tobacco Cessation Week, in 2024, timed to coincide with World No Tobacco Day. The purpose of the week is to raise public awareness of the importance of avoiding the use of nicotine—containing products. The doctors of the sanatorium "Krasivo" join the information campaign, have prepared lectures, talks, leaflets and films on the topic. The topic is significant, because tobacco addiction is considered one of the most widespread in the history of mankind.

Smoking is one of the main causes of the development of many serious diseases. The main harm falls on the respiratory system, as harmful substances affect the respiratory tract. As a result, all inhaled substances and microorganisms settle in the tissues of the lungs, from where they are absorbed into the blood and spread throughout the body, provoking a wide range of diseases.

Smoking also harms the health of the gastrointestinal tract, causing the formation of polyps of the large intestine, ulcers of the stomach and duodenum, gastritis, gastroduodenitis, etc.

Cigarette smoking provokes the development or exacerbates the course of bronchial asthma, chronic rhinitis, tuberculosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchitis.

A person who starts smoking needs to be aware that nicotine addiction is quickly formed, which is then difficult to deal with. Take care of yourself!
