In Spain all people should have the same opportunities to prevent cancer and this is not the case. To correct this situation, facilitate the adoption of healthy lifestyle habits and put a stop to the impact of tobacco, especially on minors, the Spanish Association Against Cancer launches a social mobilization campaign throughout the country. The objective is to free emblematic spaces from tobacco smoke such as El Retiro park in Madrid, the Plaza Mayor in Salamanca, the Viveros gardens in Valencia or the Lagunas de Ruidera in Ciudad Real.
This campaign will collect signatures from citizens that will later be presented to the different town councils and that will also serve to demand the Industry Email List extension of the current Anti-Tobacco Law and ensure that, in the year 2030, in line with the European Union, there is the first generation free of tobacco. smoke of the tabacco.The president of the Spanish Association Against Cancer is clear that “ we need to denormalize tobacco consumption, we have it so normalized that even this carcinogenic product is part of the IPC shopping basket. Modifying this situation involves, among other measures, expanding smoke-free spaces and ensuring that on terraces, beaches or swimming pools no one is forced to breathe tobacco smoke. We cannot forget th of children underof age are exposed to tobacco smoke of them in public spaces, and they breathe more than carcinogenic substances .
Tobacco consumption is the leading cause of preventable death. Every year, in the world, more than 8 million people die from tobacco, of which 7 million have died through direct consumption and around 1.5 million have not lit a cigarette. In Spain alone, tobacco kills more than people every year, being responsible for 30% of all cancer cases and up to 20 different types such as lung, larynx, pancreas, bladder, esophagus or liver.
The direct relationship between tobacco consumption and cancer is more than assumed by society, but what about tobacco smoke? The population does not perceive the risk of developing cancer when you inhale this toxic smoke. However, it has been proven that this smoke causes cancer since it contains more than 70 carcinogenic substances. And no, the smoke does not disappear in the open air. I of the public spaces where there are minors there are traces of tobacco smoke harmful to health, such as, for example,in terrace of the entrances to scho playgrounds. One last fact: an unlit butt continues to releas nicotine for at least ours.
Children unde of age are a very vulnerable population and are defenseless against tobacco smok% are exposed to this smoke, of whic in public spaces, sincmokers smoke in front of them.The consequences for health are obvious: they multiply the risk of developing lung cancer in adulthood, but in the short term they haveore otitis, more respiratory infections and 20% more asthma attacks. Expanding smoke-free spaces means protecting their right not to get sick and denormalizing tobacco consumption, the second most consumed toxic substance between ears of age.
Up to emblematic spaces could be free of tobacco smoke with social support. El Retiro in Madrid, the Plaza Mayor in Salamanca, the Viveros gardens in Valencia, the Lagunas de Ruidera in Ciudad Real, Larios street in Málaga, the Plaza de Santa María in Jaén, the wall of Ávila, the beaches of Gijón, the Ciutadella park in Barcelona, the Espolón de Logroño or the gardens of the Palacio de la Granja in Segovia, to give just a few examples.
