[May 31st is World No Tobacco Day]

May 31st is World No Tobacco Day. Also, from May 31st to June 6th, it is "No Smoking Week".

Smoking is not only bad for your health, but it also has a number of negative effects on the health of those around you who do not smoke. Let's take this opportunity to think about tobacco.

Please be careful about "new cigarettes"

    Recently, an increasing number of people are using new types of cigarettes (heat-not-burn tobacco, electronic cigarettes, etc.).
    The relationship between the use of new cigarettes and the risk of illness and death has not been clarified at this time, but cases of health hazards caused by electronic cigarettes have been reported overseas, and the risk of health hazards cannot be ruled out.
    Also, please note that some of the electronic cigarettes sold with the indication "Nicotine-free" actually contain nicotine.
    The smoke from the new cigarettes feels harmless, with less odor and invisible steam. However, it is clear that some new types of cigarettes contain harmful substances, and it is necessary to pay attention to the health effects of smokers and second-hand smoke on the people around them.
