The activities for the World No Tobacco Day will be conducted in Uzhgorod

May 31 is an occasion for every smoker to give up cigarettes at least for one day since the last day of May is the World No Tobacco Day. The first such day was held in 1988 at the initiative of the WHO. The purpose of this day is to attract people’s attention to the harm that smoking causes to human health.

On May 30, at 13.00, in the press center of the regional Health Center (Uzhgorod, Teatralna sq., 6), there will be a press conference dedicated to the World No Tobacco Day. 

The participants of the press conference:   

Valentina Shevchuk – the Head of the Center for Applied Psychology, Social Work and Remedial Education of the Transcarpathian Institute of Postgraduate Education

Svyatoslava Popovich – doctor-psychologist of the Transcarpathian Regional Narcological Dispensary

To note:

Tobacco smoking is one of the most common addictions in most countries. In some of them, the number of smokers is much higher than the number of people who do not smoke. That is why the World Health Organization has developed measures to eradicate smoking in the XXI century. And the appearance of the World No Tobacco Day is one way to achieve this.
