May 31 -World Tobacco Day

     It was established in 1987 by the World Health Organization. The reason

The emergence of tobacco control is a premature mortality and disease worldwide that humanity can prevent.

     Today, according to a report by the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 5 million people die each year from tobacco use; this figure is expected to rise to 8 million by 2030. The main causes of deaths related to smoking are cardiovascular diseases (47%); respiratory diseases (19%); lung cancer (16%); other cancers (9%). About 70% of tobacco-related deaths occurred in people between the ages of 35 and 69, meaning that everyone who died in this age group lost an average of 19 years of life. About 11.5 million people smoke in Ukraine, including 9.1 million men and 2.5 million women. In percentage terms - 60% and 11.2%, respectively. About a third of the population between the ages of 18 and 25 are regular smokers. More than half of all smokers smoked their first cigarette before the age of 12.

     College students discussed the myths surrounding smoking, the legal consequences of tobacco use, and the economic consequences of this bad habit during a Health Day at KramKTD by visiting the "No Smoking" thematic station.

     We hope everyone made the right conclusions! After all, smoking is a trap from which it is difficult to break free ... This is exactly what the thematic poster of Dmytro Dolzhikov, a student majoring in Design, says. (Head: teacher Shabelnyk KI)
