SLIDE 2. Introduction
Hello, everyone! Welcome. My name is Peaches Headlam, and I am a community health nurse. I am working on the Health Promotion Plan on tobacco cessation in the high school to create a healthier environment on their campus. We meet once a month to review previous goals, assess progress, and adjust as required. We also give education to anybody who wishes to attend, and we would welcome more volunteers to assist us in developing successful strategies and achieving our aim. Today, we’ll talk about our anti-tobacco and anti-nicotine campaign, why now is a good time to stop, and our goals and progress.
As you may be aware, one out of every four young adults use tobacco or tobacco substitutes such as vapes and hookah. I’m sure you weren’t surprised; individuals can be seen engaging in these behaviors all around campus. Tobacco-containing products are used by over 900 million individuals globally, and tobacco is responsible for one out of every ten fatalities. Tobacco and nicotine users are more prone to acquire malignancies, COPD, peripheral artery disease, and heart disease in any form. There are a variety of reasons why people would utilize these items. Peer pressure, the people you hang out with, alcohol intake, and even experimentation are all factors to consider (Ricotta et al., 2000). This presentation is a health promotion strategy with a measurable and realistic aim. Our target period is 60 days, with a 30-day progress review, and we’ll evaluate progress weekly using anonymous questionnaires.
SLIDE 3. Health Promotion Plan

The main objective is to give you the resources you need to enhance your health and quality of life. The goal of this plan is to provide you with the knowledge and resources you need to quit smoking. This is accomplished via the use of resources, tools, and objectives. I realized we needed to establish a strategy with achievable and measurable targets when I was asked to assist plan to see if we could minimize tobacco and alternatives. Because the strategy would have to be based on research, it would have to be evidence-based. As a result, I’ve come up with at least three illnesses connected to the usage of cigarettes and nicotine. Then, collectively, we’d go through those disorders and make posters and brochures to raise awareness about tobacco smoking and the problems it causes. We had to reduce it down to three when you returned with seven options. You also provided me with a substantial amount of supporting documentation—excellent work! COPD, Heart Disease and Stroke, and Cancer were the three diseases we picked (Loukas et al., 2016). I also asked you to go through the Healthy People 2020/2030 website and come up with three objectives to utilize in setting goals for our plan, which you did. On these slides, we’ll go over the facts in this plan.
SLIDE 4. Heart Disease and Stroke
Smoking is a leading cause of CVD, accounting for one out of every four fatalities from the disease. Smoking can cause your triglycerides (a kind of fat in your blood) to rise and your “good” cholesterol to drop. Blood becomes sticky and clots more easily, obstructing blood flow to the heart and brain. Damage to blood vessel lining cells increases plaque accumulation (fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other chemicals) in blood vessels, which can lead to blood vessel hardening and constriction (Smoking and Heart Disease and Stroke, 2021). It has been proven that not using nicotine products or stopping if you are already a smoker can greatly lower your risk of having a stroke.
COPD
COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is a set of illnesses that cause airflow obstruction and breathing difficulties. Emphysema, ulcerative colitis, and asthma are all indications of COPD. Smoking is the most common cause of COPD. Smoking is responsible for up to 80% of COPD-related fatalities. However, one out of every four Americans with COPD has never smoked (Mayo Clinic, n.d., Coped – Symptoms and Causes) … The best approach to avoid COPD is to never smoke cigarettes and to quit if you already do. Consult your doctor about programmers and items that might assist you in quitting smoking. Also, avoid secondhand smoke, which comes from the combustion of tobacco products like cigarettes and pipes.
Cancer
Cancer is a group of illnesses in which aberrant cells divide out of control and spread to other parts of the body. Toxins in tobacco smoke can impair the immune system, making it more difficult to fight cancer cells. When this happens, cancer
