Health officials in St. Petersburg suggest that people replace smoking breaks with walks outside. Dr. Alexey Tereshin from the city health committee says there is no safe amount of nicotine for your body. He warns that even secondhand smoke harms health.
The medical expert explains that vaping damages lung tissue just like regular cigarettes do. People who use these alternatives still develop what doctors call smoker lungs. The condition known as EVALI syndrome takes years of regular smoking to appear, according to Tereshin.
He urges people to swap harmful habits for better ones. Instead of stepping out for a cigarette, he recommends walking outdoors for 20-30 minutes. This simple change helps fight addiction through healthier activities. The doctor mentions that St. Petersburg offers beautiful architecture to enjoy during these walks. Regular medical checkups also help people maintain better overall health.
