Osan City Declares 'War Against Tobacco'

Osan City has declared war against tobacco.

According to the Osan City Health Center on the 2nd, they are operating smoking cessation clinics that directly visit workplaces to help office workers in the area quit smoking.

This clinic is being promoted to help office workers who have resolved to quit smoking with the new year to implement more effective smoking cessation.

Going forward, the health center will visit workplaces with 10 or more people who wish to quit smoking, including the Hwaseong Osan Education Support Office, Hwaseong East Police Station, Daeho Middle School, and Maehol Middle School to help them quit smoking.

Participants will receive customized one-on-one counseling from professional smoking cessation counselors, with various programs provided including personalized smoking cessation methods tailored to individual characteristics, smoking cessation acupuncture treatment, and provision of cessation aids.

A health center official said, "We will play a supportive role in making it easier than expected to quit smoking through systematic smoking cessation clinics, improving the current smoking cessation success rate of less than 5%."

Meanwhile, the health center also operates visiting smoking cessation clinics for those who wish to quit smoking but cannot visit the health center due to busy schedules.
