World Tobacco day was May 31. This was celebrated  by WHO.  It called for a ban on all tobacco promotion  and advertising.

Does this include displaying tobacco products for sale at the vendor? May be  they should be left behind the counter, hidden until asked.

The tobacco industry is a multimillion dollar industry, so there are reasons for many to keep the sales up. 

I think non smokng products and services should be applauded and promoted at the same time. 

 May be at a next World No Tobacco day advertising and promoting these would  be funded.

The website superhealthe. com is promoting health. We will be supporting Quit Smoking programs. I am writing on health Topics for  public education and awareness.

Articles on smoking will be one of them.

Is promoting health better than cure?

I decided to start this blog for my health website: www.superhealthe.com

I am a registered nurse. At university I was a strong supporter of health promotion and disease prevention.  I believe prevention is better than cure.

Recently we celebrated World Health Day.  The theme was ‘Protecting Health from Climate Change.’ High carbon footprints are bad for health and the environment.

I am wondering  what is important to consumers in matters related to health.  How important is prevention in promoting health?

  • How many of us believe that health should be a global issue.
  • How many believe it is a health system.
  • How many believe it is a community issue

I look forward to hearing from you.
