Incidentally, the results of the survey were disappointing, since \u00a070% of the surveyed smokers had numbers below normal. \u00a0We talked to people who smoke cigarettes asking them if they are aware the harmful effects of this habit on the body. They told us that they know about it, but can not quit. We also talked to some people who kicked the habit. They shared some interesting methods to combat smoking, \u201c- said a medical student Mykhaylo Bandrivskyi.<\/p>\n Associate Professor Volodymyr Horodetskyi said that participation of TSMU students in such events is very important. This way, either by example or through communication they help their peers to avoid or get rid of the \u2018tobacco trap\u2019. \u201cOften, quitting smoking cigarettes is difficult, but, nevertheless, fighting this habit has to be\u00a0smoker\u2019s personal decision . The person must prioritize and make a decision. Peer support is also very important, especially among young people. It should be noted that quitting smoking at any age and even after being a smoker for\u00a0long time significantly increases life expectancy. So if you smoke \u2013 do not delay! Take care of your health and your and your family future! \u201c- added Volodymyr Horodetskyi.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
