Hampyeong County, Jeollanam-do, announced on the 7th that it has conducted a mobile smoking cessation clinic to create a healthy, smoke-free local community.

The mobile smoking cessation clinic, held on the 5th for all employees of the Korea Electric Power Corporation Hampyeong Branch, provides on-site counseling for workplaces where more than five people wish to quit smoking, targeting office workers, police officers, students, and others who have difficulty visiting the public health center.

The mobile smoking cessation clinic offers one-on-one customized counseling by a professional counselor, as well as free nicotine dependency tests, smoking cessation aids, and behavioral reinforcement items to support successful quitting.

Additionally, commemorative gifts are provided to those who successfully quit smoking for 3 to 6 months to motivate and strengthen their commitment.

The public health center plans to expand the mobile smoking cessation clinic to elementary, middle, and high school students and faculty, further strengthening support for smoking cessation.

County Governor Lee Sangik said, "We expect this initiative to provide an opportunity for busy office workers to practice quitting smoking, which will improve personal health and spread a smoke-free culture," adding, "We will continue to actively promote smoking cessation support projects, including smoking prevention education."
