June is National No Smoking Month

Department of Health (DOH) Secretary Paulyn Jean Rosell-Ubial (blue shirt) said there have studies shown that most young people who smoke regularly continue to smoke throughout adulthood. The DOH held a press conference in the observance of National Smoking Month at Felipe Calderon Integrated School, Manuguit, Tondo, Manila on Wednesday (June 14, 2017). The DOH strongly encourages the youth to stay in control and to keep away from smoking. Also in photo (from left): Alejandro G. Ibanez, Assistant School Division, Manila; Benjamin M.
