[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Trainee Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education will exhibit outstanding works from last year's 'I am NO-Smoker!' idea contest for smoking prevention from the 3rd to the 7th.

The exhibition features 20 works displayed at Busan City Hall and the connecting passage to City Hall Station.

The exhibition aims to deliver anti-smoking messages to encourage a smoke-free start to the new year and protect the health of smokers, who are vulnerable to COVID-19 infection.

The exhibition showcases students' award-winning works including posters, webtoons and cartoons, and calligraphy pieces.

The calligraphy combines illustrations and reconfiguration to enhance expressive meaning, while the webtoon works are made in a cube shape to provide an enjoyable viewing experience.

The Office of Education also presents six tactile poster illustrations with braille for the visually impaired.

Since December last year through February this year, the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education has been exhibiting outstanding smoking prevention contest works at central bus lanes in Busan, including BEXCO Station, Yeonsan Station, Seomyeon KEPCO, Yangjeong Station, Bujeon Market, and on platforms of Busan Metro Lines 1 and 2 at Beomil, Busan, Nampo, Oncheonjang, Centum, Sasang, and Kyungsung University Stations.

Nam Su-jeong, Director of Student Life Education at the Busan Office of Education, said, “Through exhibitions and promotions, we will raise youth awareness about smoking,” adding, “We will continue to operate programs to prevent student smoking.”
