On February 10, 2022, adviser-curator Shedenova Nazym Utegalievna, together with 1st-year undergraduates Zhanar Abdykalykova and Nurailym Bolatova, held a curatorial hour for 1st-year students of the specialty "Sociology", dedicated to the topic of behavior in public places.In particular, we discussed the topic of smoking with students. This problem is very urgent, since every year the global tobacco epidemic claims the lives of more than 7 million people, of whom about 900,000 are non-smokers and die as a result of inhaling second-hand tobacco smoke. More people die from cardiovascular diseases than from any other cause of death in the world, and tobacco use and exposure to second-hand smoke.The students were informed that in accordance with Article 441 of the Administrative Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, a fine of 15 MCI (45945 tenge in 2022) is imposed for the consumption of tobacco products in public places, for example, in the entrances of houses, educational institutions, catering establishments, cinemas. Smoking committed repeatedly within a year after the imposition of an administrative penalty - entails a fine of 25 MCI (76575 tenge).The curatorial hour was attended by students Idrisova Amina, Kairgaleev Rafael, Konysbek Adil, Nagashibayeva Dilnaz, Temirbek Assel, Potupalova Kristina. I was pleased that the students are for a healthy lifestyle. The meeting was held in an offline format and provided an opportunity for personal acquaintance with students.
