Hořovice Hospital Pharmacy was the only pharmacy in the Beroun district to participate in the Smoking Cessation in Pharmacies event. The event is taking place this week to mark 31 May, which is declared World No Tobacco Day by the World Health Organization. The aim of this campaign, held at the Hořovice Hospital Pharmacy, is to help and give expert advice to patients on how to quit smoking. At the same time, it will present the pharmacy as the most accessible healthcare facility able to provide this service to patients in a qualified manner. During this week, the pharmacies involved in this event not only provide patients with printed materials on smoking cessation, in which they can find information on the impact of smoking on the development of respiratory and oncological diseases, for example, but our pharmacists also go even further into this topic during consultations with patients. They explain not only the risks of smoking, but above all how to get rid of tobacco addiction. This is the addiction that is the most common cause of preventable death.The pharmacists at Hořovice Hospital have received special training in smoking cessation. This ensures that patients receive advice from qualified professionals who can significantly help them with their tobacco addiction. So if you do not know how to quit smoking, come to the pharmacy of Hořovice Hospital for advice. We will help you become independent, the few steps are definitely worth it.The campaign was prepared in cooperation with the Czech Pharmacy Chamber, PACE and the Society for the Treatment of Tobacco Dependence.
