煙草在線據(jù)《外國人》報道編譯 1月3日,星期二,公共衛(wèi)生官員發(fā)起了一個積極活動,旨在在挪威杜絕吸煙情況。
這天的活動,稱之為“到了戒煙的時間嗎?”,旨在預(yù)防每年吸煙導(dǎo)致的5100人的死亡。政府已撥出了1900萬克朗,用于先前未經(jīng)證實的運動。
挪威的衛(wèi)生主管拉爾森(Bj?rn-Inge Larsen)表示,他的任務(wù)是確保今天的年輕人是明天無煙的一代,同時鼓勵及幫助現(xiàn)在的吸煙者戒煙。
“這個活動的要傳達的核心信息是戒煙是好的,而且能獲得戒煙幫助,”他說。
包含了展示一些吸煙后果,包括中風(fēng)風(fēng)險翻倍的生動場景的一個澳大利亞電影,將作為此次活動的一部分,在全國電視上放映。
據(jù)衛(wèi)生官員稱,這段錄像,已經(jīng)配了挪威語,經(jīng)過了徹底的測試,并且表明在美國、澳大利亞和幾個歐洲國家十分有效。還有兩部顯示吸煙與肺部疾病之間聯(lián)系的電影。
引用一項民意調(diào)查結(jié)果顯示,4/5的人贊同所顯示的抽煙的惡果,拉森認為,“我理解該活動措施的許多反饋,但是太多的人死于吸煙引起的疾病。在2010年,16至74歲年齡的人中,每天吸煙的人為19%?!?/p>
據(jù)報道,調(diào)查顯示,許多人還沒有覺察到吸煙的健康風(fēng)險。
“我們知道,戒煙是可以挽救許多生命、減少痛苦并能節(jié)省公共衛(wèi)生資金的單一因素,”拉爾森先生總結(jié)道。
Government on anti-smoking offensive
The Foreigner
Jan 3, 2011
Public health officials launched an aggressive campaign, Tuesday, aimed at stamping out smoking in Norway.
Today's move, called "Time to quit?" ("P? tide ? slutte ?"), is designed to prevent smoking's 5,100 annual deaths. The government has set aside 19 million kroner to spend on the previously unconfirmed campaign.
Norwegian Directorate of Health Director Bj?rn-Inge Larsen states he is tasked with ensuring young people today are the smoke-free generations of tomorrow, whilst motivating and helping current smokers to stop.
"The campaign's core message is that quitting smoking is good, and help is available," he says.
An Australian film containing vivid scenes showing some of the consequences of smoking, including the doubled risk of strokes, will be screened on national television as part of the drive.
According to health officials, the footage, dubbed into Norwegian, has been thoroughly tested and shown to have been extremely effective in the US, Australia, and several European countries. Two additional films show the connection between smoking and lung disease.
Citing a poll that shows four out of five agree with showing the consequences of smoking, Bj?rn-Inge Larsen argues, "I understand many react to the campaign's measures, but far too many die from tobacco-related diseases. 19 percent of the population between 16 and 74 smoked daily in 2010."
The inquiry also reportedly shows many people are unaware of smoking's health risks.
"We know that quitting smoking is the single factor that can save the most lives, suffering, and public health money," concludes Mr Larsen.
