We assume that the government is at least as aware of the health risks of smoking, both for smokers and non-smokers, as any informed and informed human being:
There is already indisputable evidence of medical research on the link between smoking and the big three: lung cancer, heart disease and chronic bronchitis. That the lung cancer mortality rate is 1000 times higher for smokers than for non-smokers. That three out of four deaths from bronchitis are caused by smoking (not from air pollution, as is often believed). And that in the age group 45 to 55 years, the rates of death from heart disease are 50% higher for men who smoke than for men who do not smoke; and 100% higher for women.
that smoking is also involved in other diseases such as cancer of the mouth, throat, pharynx, larynx, pancreas and bladder; emphysema; and paralytic strokes;
that smoking in pregnant women is associated with premature babies / stillbirths and low birth weight babies. That, according to a WHO study, one in five babies who would have died would have been saved if their mother had not smoked.
that a non-smoker exposed to the atmosphere of a room full of smoke for an hour inhales as much smoke as if he had actually smoked between one and two cigarettes.
We also assume that the government knows these additional facts:
that the area dedicated to tobacco cultivation has grown steadily in recent decades.
that the number of drug addicts among young people and women has also steadily increased in recent years. According to a recent study, the average number of cigarettes smoked by a male student is now 16 per day, for a female student, six.
That the cigarette industry is also increasingly extending to rural areas.
Given these frightening facts and these disturbing trends, we wonder why the government has not taken a decisive position and has not taken firm measures to protect the country's health. We wonder why he favored the cigarette industry (and merchants) with the treatment of children's gloves. And why even their shy smoking bans (in specific public areas) have been poorly applied.
The insidious attraction of young people to this harmful habit by merchants who romanticize and glamorize smoking is particularly worrisome. Check out a typical cigarette ad. The man who turns on is "virile", virile, male. He is young, attractive, sophisticated and, most deceiving of all, he looks healthy. He is also the lucky guy in love, successful at work and fun (the adventurous and nature-loving type).
The truth: a four-year study of university students in the United States found that their weight, height and chest size were consistently lower in smokers than in non-smokers. In another study of young smokers, it was found that they participate less in sports and games, get tired more easily and have a lower IQ, on average, than non-smokers. It has also been discovered that smokers suffer more from chronic colds, headaches, insomnia and sinusitis. Because smoking is a big burden on the heart, chronic smokers have shortness of breath and shortness of breath. There is nothing manly in the cough of smokers who wakes them every morning. Their taste buds are depressed by nicotine, so they don't enjoy their food. As for the attractive appearance, chronic smokers have a certain degree of skin wrinkles suitable for nonsmokers over 20 years. Your teeth and nails are stained with nicotine. Smokers also smell: the stench adheres to their clothes, their hair and their breath. Even your sweat smells because some of the smoke products are absorbed into the bloodstream and excreted through the pores.
So what is the young smoker attractive or robust? And why doesn't the government prevent marketers from spreading a deceptively attractive image? In some countries, the industry is escaping with phrases such as "Made for each other" (wills) and "For kind people" (Gold Flake).
If the cigarette trade has forgotten the meaning of the word "ethics," shouldn't the government remind them with a little help?
I realize that "economic considerations" weigh on the government on an issue like this. But I think that "consideration for health" should come first. By collecting `` contaminated '' income (from the f

If Namibia is your primary residence, your contractual work stations or places of destination have become the secondary residence where you spent most of your days.
With respect to his university career, he has a degree in computer science, an advanced diploma in monitoring and evaluation, certifications in health information systems (HIS) and a master's degree in biometrics from the University of Paris - Est créteil in France.
While people dream of being associated with tech giants like Facebook or Google, they have crossed the threshold of serving similar giants in the health sector. Some of its notable partnerships are with the World Health Organization (WHO), the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the United Nations (UN), the United States Agency for International Development (USAID ), Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), IntraHealth International, Global Fund, Population Service International (PSI), Jay Snow Inc. and the list continues.
In addition to its experience in health informatics, language is one of the factors that have contributed to its increase in stature. His understanding of seven languages, including English, Spanish, French and Portuguese, helped him deal with people from different backgrounds, that is, he had no strength. prevented from achieving its objectives across borders.
With ten (10) years of experience, he has created and supported several national systems such as e-Health, malaria, tuberculosis, PMTCT, nutrition, VMMC and HIV, to name just a few. Some. It has also trained more than 20,000 people, including government officials, managers, nurses, doctors and technicians, to make significant changes in their methods of improving the quality of life of the public.
Vieira has developed strong professional relationships with several organizations in Kenya, Uganda, Mocambique, South Africa, Namibia, Angola, Germany, India, DRC, Zambia and the United States. '' He admired his determination and skills to do his best in each area.
If you are assigned to a job, no force can prevent you from transforming a newbie into an expert. Here are three of the notable milestones that started his career:
1. A discrete choice experience for pharmacists: He worked with Dr. Peter Rockers, an assistant professor in the Department of Global Health at Boston University School of Public Health, to achieve visible changes in health informatics. At the time of the experiment, Dr. Peter Rockers was at Harvard Medical School.
2. Vieira was wearing the big shoe when she assumed the position of SIS Technical Advisor to Jim Sitzer, who became director of public health for Umatilla County, Oregon Department of Health in the United States.
3. During his adventure as a technical advisor for JSI, Vieira has developed a basic online installation (MFL) for Namibia.

The list aims to help publicly located services provided by the nearest health facilities, on the other hand, it also aims to guide the Ministry of Health in planning and equity in the allocation and distribution of resources. The MFL was built based on WHO guidelines
Due to Internet connectivity problems in most rural areas, health extension workers were forced to use paper records to collect patient information. This led to poor data quality since the paper was torn or lost. Eager to find a suitable solution, he created a mobile application that has the ability to store data without an Internet connection.
In recent years, Vieira has won few distinctions and has gained international recognition for its consulting experience. Their efforts have also managed to attract new audiences, including influential decision makers from government authorities to NGOs. His passion for innovation and technological entrepreneurship is what has always distinguished him from the rest.

Fitness, Health and Staying Healthy Is About Good Body Maintenance
Some are born with an integrated knowledge of what the body needs. Others are easily misdirected and led by fashion, popularity and group pressure on things to avoid.

The latest fashion is to travel in vehicles that cause a sudden fall and stop, as in some crazy roller coaster adventures. When I saw one of these films recently, I found it hard to believe that people put in danger not only their own bodies but also that of their children in the name of pleasure. The human brain is soft and very easily damaged.

What is radon and why has it become a major health problem?
Did you know that prolonged exposure to radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in Canada after smoking? It is also considered the second leading cause of cancer in the United States. People are exposed to this gas in the homes where they live. Radon is colorless and has no odor. Radon is a silent killer.
So what is radon?
Radon is a natural byproduct of the radioactive decay of the element known as uranium found in soil and rocks. This gas contains radioactive element radon which is formed in the form of gas during the decomposition of radioactive elements such as uranium and thorium. Radon, which is continuously formed, travels through the air from rocks and soil that contain uranium. This soil is often found under many houses and other structures. Of course, this can lead to health problems if this gas reaches unacceptable levels when entering a house or other structures where people live.
Where are the unacceptable levels of radon?
Unacceptable levels of this radioactive gas are very common on Canadian prairies such as southern Alberta. It is also found in soil and rocks in many other places in Canada. These locations include southern Saskatchewan and many parts of British Columbia. Unacceptable levels can be found in southern Ontario, New Brunswick and northern Canada, such as the Yukon and the Northwest Territories. There are also many parts of the United States that have high levels of uranium and radium in its soil and rocks. Of course, the unacceptable levels of this gas are different between the countries of Canada and the United States. This is due to the way the risk levels are determined. Canada has a higher level of acceptance.
How does this gas get into your home?
Radioactive gas enters your home from unprotected parts of your basement. This gas can be particularly bad during the winter months. During the winter months, many people in northern climates, such as the Canadian prairies, leave their windows closed. This allows radioactive elements to accumulate in the home as there is little air circulation between the outdoor and indoor environments.
What can you do to protect your home from this type of radioactivity?
There are several steps you can take to avoid the health risks from radon. Determine if your house is located on a floor that contains radioactive elements that can produce unacceptable levels of this radioactive gas in your basement. A test can be performed to determine this. You should also ask yourself if your basement floor can protect you from the gas that infiltrates your home structure.
