Geumcheon-gu '2024 Healthy City Smoking Cessation Project' Underway

Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) announced on the 2nd that it conducted the campaign "2024 Healthy City Smoking Cessation Project" to raise employees' awareness of smoking cessation and to create a workplace culture that prevents smoking.

The "2024 Healthy City Smoking Cessation Project" was organized to inform employees attending the New Year's meeting about the harms of smoking and to help employees who smoke make a resolution to quit smoking.

A proclamation ceremony for pledging to quit smoking was held, and applications for participation in the smoking cessation clinic were accepted from employees who decided to quit smoking.

The district plans to increase the success rate of smoking cessation by providing smoking cessation behavioral therapy and smoking cessation aids to employees and residents who have decided to quit smoking through year-round one-on-one personalized smoking cessation counseling services.

Last year, among about 1,000 employees and residents who participated in the smoking cessation clinic, 164 succeeded in quitting smoking.

The Geumcheon-gu Smoking Cessation Clinic is open to all Geumcheon-gu residents. They can visit the smoking cessation clinic on the 3rd floor of the public health center or register by phone.

Yu Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, said, "If there are employees who have resolved to quit smoking in the new year, I hope they receive smoking cessation and health management through the public health center's smoking cessation clinic," and added, "We will continue to do our best to spread the culture of smoking cessation."
