Looking for the motivation to quit smoking? Mark your calendar for Wednesday, March 28, at Stop Smoking Day in Expo Zuidas, Amsterdam.
In partnership with Stivoro, the Netherlands' premier tobacco prevention experts, this event delivers eye-opening facts on smoking's health risks. Attendees can take a breathalyzer test to measure carbon monoxide levels in their lungs and examine plastinates of healthy lungs alongside those damaged by smoking.
Exhibition: Body Worlds & The Story of the Heart
Stop Smoking Day ties into the Body Worlds & The Story of the Heart exhibition, running until April 22. This renowned display, drawing from anatomical expertise, explores the human body, health, disease, and cardiology with a focus on the heart.
A Powerful Wake-Up Call
Since opening, exhibition staff have found discarded full cigarette packs near the smoker's lung cases. The stark contrast between a healthy pink lung and a blackened smoker's lung has prompted many visitors to quit immediately.
Proven Impact on Healthier Living
Visitor research shows 68% committed to healthier habits after the exhibit. Notably, 9% quit or reduced smoking and alcohol, 33% improved their diet, and 25% ramped up exercise.
