Muan-gun, 'Geumnyeon ON' Without Visiting Health Center

Operation of Non-Face-to-Face Mobile Smoking Cessation Clinic App

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan County, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim San) announced on the 7th that since the 1st, it has been operating the mobile smoking cessation clinic application ‘Geumyeon ON’ to promote the health of local residents affected by COVID-19.

Geumyeon ON is an app operated as a non-face-to-face smoking cessation clinic supported by smoking cessation counselors. It is designed to reduce smoking cravings and strengthen the will to quit smoking by setting smoking cessation goals together with the smoking cessation support group. Through the community screen, users can also check health center announcements and write smoking cessation diaries.

Additionally, registrants can receive smoking cessation aids by mail without visiting the health center, and later receive non-face-to-face counseling from smoking cessation counselors via phone and Geumyeon ON.

Applications are open not only to Muan residents but also to students, military personnel, and anyone working or living in Muan County who wishes to quit smoking.

Those who want to use Geumyeon ON can install the app by searching on their smartphone or scanning the QR code, then set their residence to Muan County and register at the Muan County Health Center smoking cessation clinic.

Governor Kim San said, “Since smoking is managed as a risk factor for COVID-19, distancing from cigarettes is essential to promote residents’ health and prevent the spread of infectious diseases,” adding, “I wish success in quitting smoking to everyone participating in the clinic.”
