The EU campaign ‘HELP - For a life without tobacco' introduces its new factsheet ‘Sport and Smoking: A Contradiction!' which is available for download on the Help website at http://www.help-eu.com/pages/download/press-releases/en/sports-smoking.pdf.
"Smoking impairs physical performance and is the most significant preventable cause of disease and early death in the European Union. Tobacco smoke is a complex poisonous mixture of over 4800 chemicals, of which at least 250 are toxic or carcinogenic. By contrast, regular sport improves health, reduces the probability of starting to smoke, and is an important means of helping people to quit the habit. So smoking and sport don't go together, and not only in competitive sport," is reported in the anti smoking campaign.
The 'HELP - For a lie without tobacco' program is also strongly critical towards tobacco industries who have been offensively using sport competitions to promote its products.
