Smoking takes away everyone's health　

May 5st to June 31th is No Smoking Week. To protect your health, stop smoking (cigarettes) again.
Think about the impact and smoking cessation (quitting cigarettes).

(1) Passive smoke that causes great damage to people around you
　　Passive smoking is breathing in someone else's cigarette smoke. Even if you don't smoke,
　　It is harmful to your health and can make you sick.

(2) Please protect your children from tobacco.
　　Children who are still growing are more susceptible to the harmful effects of cigarette smoke.
　　It may cause asthma or otitis media.

(3) Is it okay to use heated tobacco?　
　　Even heated cigarettes are passive smoke. It is said that there is no smoke and little odor.
　　Heated tobacco is also harmful to your health. Switching from cigarettes to heated tobacco
　　This does not mean that you have quit smoking.
