The prevention of smoking in schools was the focus of a meeting between Education Minister Niki Kerameos and lung specialists Panagiotis Behrakis, chair of the Health Ministry’s national antismoking committee and Vasso Evangelopoulou, researcher at the George Behrakis research lab of the Greek Anticancer Society.
The two lung specialists presented to the minister education material of the initiative SmokeFreeGreece which aims to send positive messages for life, health, sports and against tobacco addiction to pupils.
