The topic for May 31, 2026, is «Exposing the Bait — Confronting Nicotine and Tobacco Addiction.» This motto recalls a new wave of threats, where old dangers are disguised as innovations, and familiar cigarettes are supplemented by a whole arsenal of technological devices aimed at the most vulnerable generation.
The main goal of the anti-tobacco campaign is to raise public awareness about the negative impact of tobacco and nicotine-containing products on the human body, about ways to quit smoking, the use of nicotine-containing products, the use of electronic smoking systems, tobacco consumption systems, and about organizations that provide assistance in quitting smoking.
As part of the national information and educational campaign «Belarus Against Tobacco,» thematic events on the prevention of tobacco smoking and the use of nicotine-containing products (campaigns, marathons, flash mobs, trainings, competitions, lectures, seminars, etc.) are planned in all regions, including for pupils and students of general secondary, secondary vocational, and higher education institutions. The program also includes press events, roundtable discussions on current issues related to tobacco and nicotine use prevention, public consultations on tobacco and nicotine use prevention (including through hotlines), surveys on smoking and nicotine use prevention, the publication and distribution of informational and educational materials (leaflets, booklets, brochures, etc.), and the posting of information in the media and on organizations’ websites.
The anti-tobacco campaign is an excellent start to maintaining and improving your health in a new nicotine-free life.
You can also view informational and educational materials on the campaign topic, available at the Republican Center for Hygiene, Epidemiology, and Public Health.
