New methods of fight against smoking
On 28 April, the Youth Work Department together with “INSIGHT” debate club organized a round table: “New methods of fight against smoking”, dedicated to the World No Tobacco Day.
During the event, the participants discussed the modern methods of tobacco control: ban on tobacco advertising, restricting access to tobacco products, prohibition on the sale of tobacco to persons under the age of 18, etc.
The participants of the round table analyzed all the methods and concluded that the problem could not be solved by the prohibitions only. For a stronger effect, students offered to more actively show the negative effects of nicotine on the human body, in particular on a teenager. Such visual agitation will help smokers, especially beginners, to gain insight of the harm of smoking.
Effective propaganda should become more visible and more aggressive so the population could assess the malignancy of this harmful habit.
