One of the most important requirements of a healthy life is to quit smoking. Smoking poses a risk for many diseases such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and sleep apnea syndrome. The chemicals in cigarettes cause lung diseases and cause lung cancer. In the event organized by Nezahat Keleşoğlu, Assistant Professor from the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics of the Faculty of Health Sciences, Elif Yıldırım, information was given about the harms of smoking. Students who smoke in our faculty were invited to the stand area and what to do to quit smoking was explained. Those who stated that they could quit smoking thanked them for symbolically putting a finger on the tree with finger paints and making our hopes, that is, our youth, grow again like a leaf, and a souvenir photo was taken.
