Gwangju Seo-gu 'Nighttime Smoking Cessation Clinic' Operation

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 28th that it will operate a 'Nighttime Smoking Cessation Clinic' for local residents who find it difficult to use the smoking cessation clinic during the daytime.

Seo-gu residents who wish to quit smoking can visit the nighttime smoking cessation clinic from 6 PM to 9 PM on the first Thursday of every month starting next month to receive aids based on nicotine dependence evaluation, urine concentration test, smoking type evaluation, and carbon monoxide concentration measurement results.

In addition, they can receive more systematic smoking cessation support services through 1:1 customized counseling by smoking cessation specialists and behavioral therapy guidance (such as hand acupressure devices and Cool Kiss).

Those registered at the smoking cessation clinic who test negative for CO or nicotine after 6 months will also receive a 6-month smoking cessation success souvenir.

A Seo-gu Public Health Center official said, "We hope that the Seo-gu nighttime smoking cessation clinic, which is being implemented for the first time this year, will be of great help to those who have resolved to quit smoking in the new year," and added, "We will continue to promote various smoking cessation projects that satisfy residents to improve health and do our best to establish a smoking cessation culture."
