International Smoking Cessation Day

Every year, on the third Thursday of November, International Smoking Cessation Day is celebrated on the initiative of the International Society of Oncologists and with the support of the World Health Organization (WHO).  The medical staff of the Krasivo sanatorium are joining the information campaign and have prepared lectures, talks, flyers and videos on a significant topic.

    The purpose of the International Day of Smoking Cessation is to help reduce the prevalence of tobacco addiction, involve all segments of the population in the fight against smoking, prevent tobacco smoking and inform 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 occurred 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 electronic cigarettes, have become widespread. Smoking electronic devices is promoted as a safe alternative to regular cigarettes. However, e-cigarettes are also unsafe. 

It should be noted that with good awareness of the health risks of smoking, 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 encourage everyone to think about their health and the health of their loved ones!
