Students of the Higher School of Economics and Business are against smoking!

Articles are written about the dangers of smoking, TV shows are filmed, posters are printed, and scary pictures with the consequences of tobacco use are placed on cigarette packs. However, only a few people give up their bad habit.

Thus, on October 10, 2024, a seminar was held on the dangers of smoking among fourth-year students of the specialty “Logistics” of the department “Business Technologies”. The seminar was organized by the head of the department Akhmetova Z.B., Sartova R.B., Tulebaeva N.T. in order to attract students' attention to a serious problem - the harm of smoking and its negative consequences for health. 

The host of the event was an invited specialist in promoting a healthy lifestyle, Gulmira Baimuratkyzy.

The following topics were discussed at the seminar: the harmful effects of smoking on the human body, data were provided on how smoking affects the lungs, heart, blood vessels and other organs.

Students were offered recommendations on how to quit smoking and suggestions about available support services for those wishing to quit the bad habit. The event ended with a demonstration of photographs showing the horrific consequences of smoking.

The seminar on the dangers of smoking at HSE&B was successful and had a significant impact on students. All participants received valuable knowledge about the dangers of smoking and motivation to maintain their own health.

Ensuring healthy lifestyles and promoting people's well-being are important components of Sustainable Development Goal 3.
