Куріння і коронавірус: фатальне поєднання

Куріння є основною причиною захворювань і смерті, якій можна запобігти, не тільки в Сполучених Штатах, але і в Бразилії. В даний час рівень смертності від вживання сигарет в розвинених країнах і країнах, що розвиваються, становить 6 мільйонів.

Згідно зі звітом Університету Джона Хопкінса від 17.06.2020, у світі понад 445 000 смертей від коронавірусу.

One of the examples of the use of the life skills model for the prevention of the use of psychoactive substances, with greater success and application time, is the work of more than 20 years carried out by Botvin and collaborators, from Cornell University, United States. With the school as its stage of action, the program called Life Skills Training...

Adolescents are a special population for these programs, due to their greater vulnerability.

The life skills model consists of favoring the development of a set of ten competencies, being grouped into categories that complement each other: social and...

This is a stressful time. You have to take care of yourself in order to support your children.
