Smoking Cessation Program
To cease smoking is not as simple as having will-power because tobaccoism is disease that requires specialized treatment.
Research reveals that 80% of smokers nowadays want to stop smoking and this desire, to a large extent, is the result of all the media’s work done to diffuse information on the harm caused by cigarettes. Nevertheless, even with all the information, people continue to smoke and to a great number of smokers, stopping seems impossible.
Due to the urgency in identifying and universalizing programs directed to the control of tobaccoism, an open negotiation organ was established in between the State Members of the World Health Organization. A global coalition was formed to control the use of tobacco, the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) and it is the first international treaty made in the public health sector.
Santa Cruz Hospital’s (SCH) Check-Up offers the Smoking Cessation Program with the Scientific Accompaniment “Live Free”, whose objective is to treat those who wish to stop smoking according to Preconized and Recommended World Health Organization Methods.
The Program’s speeches have obtained excellent success rates in all the companies where it has been introduced.
The quality of life programs and health promoting programs in the workplace are becoming an integral part of organization’s culture. The theme “quality of life” has been vigorously discussed from the companies’, the communities’ and the individual’s point of view.
Today, company’s greatest assets are represented by capable, qualified, healthy, balanced, creative, honest and motivated people accomplishing their tasks. Taken from this angle, literature shows us that smoking is an important cause for diseases, one of the main causes for early retirement and one of the main avoidable causes for premature death all over the world, according to data from the World Health Organization.
More than a simple Socially Responsible attitude taken by this company, this initiative demonstrates our commitment to the promotion of health among the collaborators who smoke and need help to cease. Because of this, we congratulate this company for adopting a Program of such importance and of such great social reach.
