From October 5 to October 9, 2020, in the North Kazakhstan Higher Medical College, as part of educational work, a number of curatorial hours were held online - conferences for college students on the topic: "Prevention of the use of harmful substances" by a specialist from the Center for the Formation of a healthy lifestyle in Nur- Sultan Madina Ashen. During the week, the event was attended by students and curators of the groups of the Department of General Medicine: F18-01, F20-03, F20-11, F20-12, F20-13, F20-14.
A specialist from the Center for the Formation of a Healthy Lifestyle spoke with college students about the physical and social harm not only of nicotine and alcohol addictions. A special place was given to the prevention of the use of nasvay and the risk of cancer, which the user of this "soft" drug exposes himself to.
But first of all, the problem of the recently growing popularity of electronic cigarettes and hookah was discussed. The biggest danger of the tendency of young people to switch to these novelties of the modern world is that the composition of mixtures for them is very complex, little studied, does not have a quality standard, and constantly changes at the request of the manufacturer. That is, such mixtures are illegal and, in addition, their delayed effect on the body is unpredictable. On the Internet you can find the most diverse and contradictory information about these mixtures, but it is already becoming clear that the effect of these fashion trends is destructive.
The specialist emphasized that already now the consequences of the abuse of popular news, both in terms of psychological dependence and in terms of physical health, are difficult to cope with, and often not possible.
