像我一樣的醫生與眾多其他醫療專業人士,現在正為治療新冠肺炎病毒的患者而努力不懈。而你所能夠提供的最佳協助方法,就是待在家中、勤洗手,以及不要吸煙或吸電子煙。
若想停止吸煙或停止吸電子煙,你可以獲得免費協助!我們深知目前正是艱難時期,但這也是你能控管健康的絕佳大好機會。無論你是第一次還是第11次嘗試戒煙,ASQ華語戒煙專線都可為你提供支援協助。戒煙顧問將通過電話諮詢,協助你或你所摯愛的親友制定個人化戒煙計劃。如果能在這段時期,與親切的顧問一起解決關於如何戒煙的壓力和焦慮,就真是太好了!戒煙顧問也可以與你討論包括戒煙貼片、口香糖或錠劑等有助控制煙癮的非處方藥物,你還可能符合資格獲得特別優惠,收到可寄送到府的免費戒煙貼片。
維持無煙住家也同時能保護他人。二手煙會讓不吸煙者的肺部健康狀況變得更糟,對於兒童來説更是如此。2 如果你並非吸煙者,也可聯繫ASQ華語戒煙專線,以了解如何幫助摯愛的親友戒煙或戒電子煙。
對於你的健康、家人的健康及社區的健康而言,無煙及無煙草,其實就和洗手及遮住咳嗽一樣都相當重要。
