On the occasion of the last World Tobacco Day, the Spanish Association of Primary Care Pediatrics produced an informative poster in which you can see the image above that wants to show us that extinguish the cigarette light your life, and that of your children.
Precisely "Turn off your cigarette, light your life!" It was the motto of this campaign that was accompanied by the following text: "May this day serve to reflect on the passive smoking suffered by our childhood and youth, even before birth."
Therefore, in the image not only an adult is seen surrounded by a conscious child, (the smallest are the most susceptible to the damage of tobacco), but also a pregnant woman smoking and your baby with a mask half drowned by the harmful substances of the cigarette.
It is true that there are women who find it very difficult to quit their addiction to tobacco during pregnancy, which is why information and help campaigns are carried out, or guides are published to take the step. Because the risks are innumerable, for the mother, for the baby, for those around us.
Whether women, men, parents, grandparents, family or the table neighbor, you should never smoke in front of children, because apart from the "bad fumes" they get a normalized image of having a cigarette in their mouths.
In short, the objective of this image that I wanted to highlight and the AEPAP Respiratory Tract Group's campaign is to point out the risks posed by the consumption of tobacco for health and health. benefits of putting out the cigarette, for the mother, for the father, and for the children, even when they are not yet born.
