Gwangju Urban Corporation announced on the 1st that it conducted a smoking cessation campaign around the Bitgoeul Customer Center on the 30th of last month to commemorate "World No Tobacco Day."

"World No Tobacco Day" is an annual event designated by the World Health Organization (WHO) on May 31 since 1987, marking its 40th anniversary, to promote a smoke-free society. The corporation carried out a smoking cessation awareness campaign by distributing dental care sets engraved with the message, "We support your decision to quit smoking."

The event was organized to inform citizens about the necessity and importance of quitting smoking and to share the value of protecting health and the environment. Employees of the corporation promoted smoking prevention and cessation through citizen participation activities and inspected designated non-smoking areas, striving to spread a smoke-free culture in everyday life.

President Kim Seungnam stated, "I hope this campaign serves as an opportunity for people to decide to quit smoking and to reflect on the importance of health," adding, "As a public institution, we will continue to fulfill our social responsibility and take the lead in creating a healthy city."
