International No Tobacco Day, Regional Initiatives

Tomorrow the International No Tobacco Day will be celebrated and the Regional Administration for Healthcare arranged an Open Day stand in the hall of the C3 building of the Centro Direzionale.

The stand will host a specialised team of the regional stop smoking centres who will give information about cigarette smoking effects and the possibility of stopping smoking services that can be supplied by the structure; it will also be possible to undergo a spirometry and a measurement of the carbon oxide exhaled in order to know the conditions of the bronchial functions and to detect possible problems related to the increased tobacco carboxemia. It will also be possible to measure the dependence degree through the Fagerström test.
