World No Tobacco Day 2024

by slslmadmin on May 30, 2024


On World No Tobacco Day, the Sri Lankan Society of Lifestyle Medicine reaffirms its commitment to promoting tobacco-free living as a cornerstone of healthy lifestyles. Tobacco use remains a major preventable risk factor for numerous chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disorders, respiratory illnesses, and various cancers. By raising awareness about the dangers of tobacco and encouraging cessation, we aim to empower individuals to reclaim their right to health and well-being.

Lifestyle medicine encompasses a holistic approach that addresses modifiable behaviors, such as tobacco use, alongside nutrition, physical activity, stress management, quality sleep, and positive social connections. Together, let us leverage the principles of lifestyle medicine to combat the tobacco use and promote a healthier, more vibrant society for all Sri Lankans.
