World Tobacco Day: "Don't let the everyday become complicated"

The Camp de Túria Commonwealth, through the Social Welfare department and the Community Prevention Unit for Addictive Behaviors (UPCCA), continues its campaign of 12 months, 12 slogans.

This May, the UPCCA Camp de Túria wants to focus on May 31; to commemorate World No Tobacco Day. This year we wanted to center the campaign on how tobacco can significantly affect the daily lives of smokers.

With the slogan “Don't let the everyday become complicated,” we want to highlight precisely the effects that tobacco can have even on the most habitual and simple actions, inviting reflection on whether it is worth risking our physical capacity and health in this way.
