Smoking Today: Traditional and Electronic Cigarettes

Smoking is still one of the biggest health problems in Brazil and the world — whether it's traditional cigarettes or electronic ones. But do you really know how many people smoke, why it's so hard to quit, and what are the myths that still confuse those who want to take care of their own health?

This course was designed for you and your community to understand, clearly and completely, everything about smoking: how many smokers there are in Brazil and the world, how cigarettes (traditional and electronic) harm those who smoke and those around them, why nicotine is so addictive, and what diseases are linked to this habit.
You will also discover the benefits of quitting smoking, learn practical ways to quit smoking (or help someone quit), and debunk common myths like "smoking just one cigarette doesn't hurt" or "light is safer". Finally, we will talk about the role of the tobacco industry and the laws that exist in Brazil to protect the population.
