Smoking is one of the main threats to the health of children and adolescents. To protect the younger generation from this bad habit, teachers and students of our university regularly carry out various preventive measures.

      On 7th of December, students under the guidance of Associate Professor of the Department of Propaedeutics of Internal Diseases E.V. Slobozhaninova held a conversation for students of the exemplary collective of the children's and youth vocal and choral chapel "Solovushki Vyatka".

      3rd-year students of the Faculty of General Medicine (Matvey Makhnev and Artyom Pestov) and the Faculty of Foreign Students (Avani Ravindran and Muddatir Khairat) told the children about one of the most serious problems of modern society - tobacco smoking.

      Future doctors introduced teenagers to the negative effects of smoking and explained how to prevent the appearance of addiction to nicotine. Also during the conversation, our students reflected on the experience of tobacco control in Russia, India and Nigeria.
