On 05/31/2024, employees of the Department of prevention and socio-psychological assistance of the KGP “Polyclinic No. 2 of Kostanay” held an action: “We change cigarettes for sweets”, dedicated to the World Anti-Smoking Day. Traditionally, the campaign was held under the motto “Better sweet candy than cigarette smoke!”.
The purpose of this campaign is to raise public awareness of the devastating effects of tobacco smoking on human health, to engage in the fight against smoking, and to introduce a healthy lifestyle.
During the campaign, the population was consulted on the prevention of tobacco smoking. The patients of the polyclinic were provided with a lot of useful and visual information about the dangers of smoking and leading a healthy lifestyle. People who wish to quit smoking were also invited to the Anti-smoking Room.
