Quit smoking - get 40 thousand, the scheme will be implemented in this city!

To get rid of smoking addiction, it is being said that money is being given to people in a city. However, they will get the money only if they pass the exhaled carbon monoxide tests after quitting smoking.

A proposal for a pilot council scheme has been brought in a city to reduce the smoking rate. In which there is a provision to give cash of about 20 thousand rupees to the person who quits smoking. At the same time, pregnant women will be given double the amount under this scheme.

This scheme is being brought to a city in the UK. Because the smoking rate has not been decreasing there for some time. In view of the statistics of smoking, pregnant women in Cheshire East of Britain have also been included in this scheme.

According to the plan, about 20 thousand rupees will be given to those who quit smoking there and about 40 thousand rupees will be given to pregnant women if they quit smoking. If this scheme proves to be effective, then it is being said that it will be implemented in other parts of the country as well.

The special thing is that if a person claims to have quit smoking, then they will have to go through a test. They will have to give exhaled carbon monoxide tests to prove their claim.

20 thousand will be given to those who quit smoking and 40 thousand rupees to pregnant women. The Cheshire East Council report states that there is strong evidence that financial incentive schemes are an effective way of helping people who want to quit smoking.

According to the report, people who smoke 20 times in a day spend Rs 4.4 lakh annually on smoking. Apart from this, 70 percent of lung cancer cases are related to smoking. Apart from this, many diseases are also caused due to smoking.
