The health promotion plan that I would present to an individual or group would be
focused on tobacco use and the dangers of smoking. In conducting a face-to-face educational
session on smoking and tobacco use, I would begin by discussing the statistics on smoking and
tobacco use in the United States and how it is one of the leading causes of mortality and
disability. I would then discuss the various health risks associated with smoking, including
cancer, respiratory problems, and cardiovascular disease. I would emphasize that there is no safe
amount of exposure to tobacco smoke for anyone, and that it is important to quit smoking to
improve overall health. I would then provide tips on how to quit smoking, including medications
and counseling that can be helpful in quitting (Flanders, 2018). I would also discuss the
importance of smoke-free legislation and community mobilization in reducing exposure to
tobacco smoke and preventing people, especially children, from starting to smoke.
How would you set goals for the session and the stakeholders involved and their role.
The goal of the educational session on smoking and tobacco use would be to raise
awareness about the dangers of smoking and tobacco use and to provide tips on how to quit
smoking. For the individual or group attending the session, I would hope that they would come
away with a better understanding of the risks of smoking and tobacco use and be motivated to
quit if they are smokers (World Health Organization, n.d.). For the stakeholders involved, I
would hope that they would be able to provide support to those attending the session in quitting
smoking
