Every year on the third Thursday of November, the world celebrates International No Smoking Day.

This day is also celebrated in Ukraine. The goal of the International No Smoking Day is to help reduce the prevalence of tobacco addiction, involve all segments of the population and doctors of all specialties in the fight against smoking, prevent smoking, and inform society about the harmful effects of tobacco on health.

It is probably not possible to forbid people to smoke, but it is possible to convince them to quit smoking.

That is why, on November 16, at Professional Medical College of Rivne Medical Academy, an educational and professional event was held for students of the 1st year of the specialty "Medical business" by the teacher of the highest category of the cyclic committee of professionally oriented disciplines of the therapeutic profile Demianchuk T. M.

The goal of the educational event was to convince future doctors to take care of their health, the health of the people around them, without smoking them, and best of all, to give up smoking altogether. After all, our state now, more than ever, needs healthy and strong Ukrainians who are able to persistently approach victory!
