Integrating propaganda on tobacco harm prevention during flag salute time

Recently, Vo Van Kiet Secondary School (Phu My Ward, Ho Chi Minh City) organized a propaganda campaign to prevent and combat the harmful effects of tobacco during the flag-raising ceremony at the beginning of the week with the participation of all teachers, staff and students of the school. This activity aims to raise awareness and build a green, clean, smoke-free school environment.

At the flag-raising ceremony on the morning of November 10, the school representative emphasized: Smoking is not only a bad habit, but also one of the leading causes of many dangerous diseases such as lung cancer, cardiovascular diseases, stroke, respiratory diseases... Not only smokers are affected, but people around them who have to inhale secondhand smoke are also at risk of contracting the same disease. Therefore, the Law on Prevention and Control of Tobacco Harms has clearly stipulated that public areas and schools are places where smoking is prohibited in order to protect public health and demonstrate the civilized consciousness of each individual.

The school pays special attention to students, an age group that is curious and easily influenced by enticements. A cigarette, e-cigarette or heated tobacco product can start with experimentation, but the consequence is that it creates an addictive habit, directly affects health, reduces the ability to concentrate on studying, and damages the image of the school. "School is a place where knowledge and personality are sown, cigarettes cannot appear in this environment," the school representative emphasized.

The message of the propaganda session is not just to criticize, but to encourage each student to protect themselves. For those who have tried smoking, please boldly say “stop”. For those who have never tried, please be steadfast in your choice “no smoking, no trying”. The school affirms: A small action but is the right choice for health, future and good image of the collective.

At the end of the flag-raising ceremony, the students unanimously responded to the message: "Say no to cigarettes, protect yourself, protect those around you."

Vo Van Kiet Secondary School continues to maintain many forms of periodic propaganda during the school year, aiming to build a civilized, clean and safe school environment for students.
