Yachiyo Health Information Mail [May 31 is "World No Smoking Day" and May 31-June 6 is "No Smoking Week" ！].

The World Health Organization （ WHO ） has designated May 31 of each year as "World No Smoking Day" and Japan as "No Smoking Week" from May 31 to June 6, which begins on World No Smoking Day, to actively promote and educate people to quit smoking and prevent passive smoking.
The theme of this year's No Smoking Week is "Let's learn about the health effects of tobacco ！ - the relationship between tobacco and COPD.
COPD （ Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease ） is a lung disease that causes gradual decline in respiratory function, mainly due to long-standing smoking habits. In the early stages, there are often no subjective symptoms, but by the time one becomes aware of coughing or shortness of breath, the disease has often progressed considerably. Therefore, in addition to quitting smoking, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible if you are concerned about a long-lasting cough or shortness of breath during movement.
Furthermore, cigarette smoke adversely affects the health of nonsmokers as well as smokers.
This is an opportunity for both smokers and nonsmokers to think about tobacco and health.
Yachiyo City has posted information about the "effects of tobacco on health" and "support for quitting smoking" on the city website, so please take a look.

[About Outpatient Cessation of Smoking]
As of May 31, 2024, outpatient smoking cessation services may be suspended due to the suspension of shipments of varenicline ® (Champix®), a typical smoking cessation drug. For more information, please contact your medical institution.
