That’s the signal Costa Rica has been sending over the past several months. The government will ramp up that message this weekend in honor of International Say “No” To Smoking Day on Monday, May 31.
The Costa Rican Social Security System (Caja) released a study Tuesday highlighting the effects of tobacco on Costa Ricans, which showed that the tobacco habit hurt Costa Rica both health-wise and financially. As a result, more public places are being encouraged to provide smoke-free environments.
In addition, thousands of school children in Cartago gathered Wednesday at “Fello” Meza Stadium – one of the stadiums to ban smoking recently – to unite against smoking.
