No Alcohol Day

9 September has been established in Russia as the No Alcohol Day. In connection with that Arkhangelsk central street, Chumbarova-Luchinskogo St., hosted a street campaign held by the Psychoneurological Dispensary, EB Fund and TB Dispensary representatives. This campaign is aimed at healthier lifestyle among citizens and cessation of bad habits: alcohol and smoking abuse.  

Campaign participants offered fact sheets on alcohol and smoking abuse prevention, consultations on issues connected to alcohol abuse, on how to cease smoking, why such cigarette substitute as e-cigarette, tipped cigarette, hookah, smoking pipe, etc are dangerous. Volunteers spreaded info about tobacco smoke danger for non-smoking people, so called passive smokers.   EB Fund manager A. Avdeeva provided Smokelyser tests for all willingers.

“When I was young, I smoked a lot, but I have not smoked for 20 years so far”, said one of the Arkhangelsk dwellers. He shared with us his success story.  «I caught cold and made a decision not to smoke.  The next day I didn’t feel better and I decided not to smoke again. So I did without cigarettes a few days. Since then I have not had any».
