Marbella commemorates World No Tobacco Day with two walks

The City Council, through the Health Department, has today promoted two organized walks in collaboration with various hospitals in the municipality to mark World No Tobacco Day, which is celebrated every May 31. In Marbella, the activity took place on the Paseo Marítimo, in the area of Avenida del Mar, while in San Pedro Alcántara, it occurred around the Plaza de la Iglesia. The initiative included participation from schools and the associations Fundatul and Afesol, reinforcing the city's commitment to promoting healthy lifestyle habits.

The councilman of the department, Alejandro González, highlighted that "today is a day to become aware of how harmful tobacco can be for health, especially for those who still smoke." He also remembered that "each year, tobacco kills more than 3 million people, a figure that compels us to continue working determinedly to reduce its consumption and protect public health." The councilman noted that "from the Health Department, we will continue to promote healthy lifestyles and prevention as the best tools to fight this scourge and protect the health of the citizens."
