Health Promotion Campaign: Eradicating Smoking

This study explores the development and implementation of a health promotion campaign aimed at reducing smoking prevalence. The campaign focuses on raising awareness about the detrimental health effects of smoking, particularly among vulnerable age groups like teenagers and young adults. The study analyzes the social and economic factors influencing smoking behavior and identifies key stakeholders for intervention. The campaign utilizes a multi-pronged approach, incorporating educational materials, community outreach programs, and partnerships with healthcare professionals to promote smoking cessation and prevention.

HEALTH PROMOTION CAMPAIGN

Introduction
 Health promotion campaigning have gained its popularity in the recent
times which helps in awarding the causes and the ill effects for any
unhealthy lifestyle.
 The study have been completed by choosing smoking as the prime
concern for many deaths and cancer around the world (Mendes et al.
2016). Therefore I planned a health promotion program which is going
to be presented in this study.

Study findings
 After performing analysis and also
doing survey at almost in every part
of country I came to know how much
and at what percentage of social
activities involved in smoking, and
on that they prepare report.
 I found it is easier for the vulnerable
age group like the teenagers and
young adults to fall under an
influence and start smoking.

 It is a well-known fact that disease
like the lung cancer is caused by
smoking.
 Providing information to people
about these health-related
complications which are caused by
the negative effects of smoking may
be impactful in stopping this from
happening.

Continued..
 The habit of smoking can be life threatening and for a long time, in the
United Kingdom this behaviour has been claiming a substantial number
of lives.
 There are many expertise available who can provide aid towards
smoking restriction
Expertise includes dental doctor, nurses, general physician, Social
worker, Diet and nutrition Specialist, and more over highly expert and
experienced Doctors.

Continued..
 Many types of research has been
done and has been concluded that
higher economic status people are
less likely to face socio economic
issues regarding health as compared
to lower economic status people.
 I came to understand the person
who are socially backward doesn’t
able to know about the negative
impacts of smoking which might
cause to death.

Conclusion
 From the promotion planning it can be said that I have thoroughly
researched about every aspect of smoking and most effective ways to
eradicate it. The program is planned in such a way it would help the
public to get acknowledged about smoking ill effects.
