The National Olympic Academy (ETHNOA) in cooperation with other scientific and sports bodies and personalities organises information activities on the problems that cigarettes cause to our health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this context, it actively participates for another year in the awareness-raising activities for the 31st of May, which has been designated as World No Tobacco Day by the World Health Organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To inform the public about the messages of World Smoking Day, he sponsored the book \u201c8 Reasons to Quit Smoking\u201d and adopted the slogan: \u201cknock out smoking - make us proud\u00bb. The book is offered free of charge at targeted events throughout the year to educate the general public about the deadly consequences of the smoking habit, and by spreading anti-smoking messages, it hopes to raise awareness among smokers about quitting and nicotine cessation methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It portrays smoking from different perspectives. Not only through the eyes of doctors from different disciplines, but also in sport, culture, theatre, music and legislation. Among the authors, Voula Zygouri, a member of the board of directors of ETHNOA and Olympic wrestling champion, presents from the perspective of a physical education teacher the \u201cstrongest ally in quitting smoking\u201d: exercise! She analyses the properties and characteristics that make it an ideal substitute for nicotine. She also gives practical guidelines on the intensity, duration and frequency of exercise in order to orientate it correctly in this direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The authors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anna Giannakou - Paschou (Nurse - Deputy Mayor of the Municipality of Kallithea), Constantia Papalla (Oncologist - Radiotherapist - Director of AONA), Maria Agrapidou (DDS (Dentist - Public Relations Manager of OSP, President of OSP Scientific Magazine), Athanasia Skourtanioti (Philologist - Kindergarten Teacher, Head of the Directorate of Children's Education of the Municipality of Kallithea), Voula Zygouri (Olympic wrestling champion - President of the Greek Olympic Winners Association), Maria Stratigou (Attorney at Law - Mediator), Dr. Konstantinos Spiliopoulos MSc (Plastic Surgeon) and Thomas Pandis (Actor), presented the book together at the premises of the Association for Rehabilitation and Special Education for the Disabled \u201cPanagia Evangelistria\u201d location: \u00abOverlap of the Ilisos River\u00bb (Filaretou and Panagi Tsaldaris) in Kallithea on Monday 6\/6\/2022 at 19:30 in the presence of MPs Tasos Gaitanis and Yannis Kallianos, the General Secretary of the Greek Ministry of Education and Culture, Mr. Secretary of the Panhellenic Federation of Sports Coaches Mr. Dimitrios Stefanidis and many people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the presentation Ms. Zygouri stressed: \u00abIt is estimated that each cigarette takes 8 to 11 minutes from a person's life and an average smoker consumes about twenty cigarettes. Exercise is an effective and side-effect-free means of taking the place of nicotine in a smoker's life, enhancing its quality and prolonging it. Anyone who devotes to exercise essentially as little time as it will take away the first three cigarettes of his day will surely help himself to get rid of smoking for good \u201can hour earlier\u201d!\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from the National Olympic Academy, the book was sponsored by: The Greek Olympic Winners Association, the Piraeus Dental Association, the National Council of Greek Clubs and Centres for UNESCO, the Ioannis Kapodistrias Centre for Studies and Studies and the Philathlete Athletic Association.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
