Imsil-gun Launches 'No Smoking Promotion Campaign' in Market Area

[Imsil=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Nosik] Jeonbuk Imsil-gun (Governor Shim Min) announced on the 12th that on the 11th, it conducted a promotional campaign to create a smoke-free environment and prevent secondhand smoke damage around the market and bus terminal area.

Secondhand smoke refers to the harm caused to non-smokers who inhale tobacco smoke, resulting in effects similar to those of smoking.

In particular, exposure to secondhand smoke can be a greater problem for infants, pregnant women, and the elderly, so caution is required.

Through this promotion, they informed the public about the health damage caused by secondhand smoke and actively encouraged the use of smoking cessation clinics to help smokers quit smoking.

Those who wish to participate can inquire or visit the Health and Medical Center's smoking cessation clinic.

Additionally, to create a smoke-free environment in the county, they guided people not to smoke in designated non-smoking areas such as bus terminals, restaurants, and government offices.

They also informed that using liquid-type electronic cigarettes and heated tobacco products (cigarette-type electronic cigarettes) is recognized as smoking behavior and must be prohibited in non-smoking areas.

Governor Shim Min said, “Non-smoking areas are the minimum agreement to reduce secondhand smoke in public places. We will strengthen guidance and enforcement to establish a smoking cessation culture and work harder to contribute to protecting the health of county residents.”
