In his post on his social media account for May 31, World No Tobacco Day, Minister Koca included the following statements: "We are ready to provide you with the necessary support to quit smoking. On May 31, World No Tobacco Day, think about this issue with more seriousness than ever before."

Quitting will be easier than you think, please apply. How many examinations do you remember where the doctor did not ask you, 'Do you smoke?' Taking the first step to quit smoking is much easier than coughing in a way that strains your lungs. Apply to one of our smoking cessation clinics."
