EUROPEAN RESPIRATORY SOCIETYS ÅRLIGE KONGRES, BARCELONA, September 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

Europa-Kommissionens og FC Barcelonas fælles kampagne anerkendes for sine resultater med at fremme rygestop i Europa

European Lung Foundation (ELF) og The European Respiratory Society (ERS) meddeler i dag, at Europa-Kommissionens og FC Barcelonas fælles kampagne 'Quit Smoking with Barça' (http://www.quitsmokingwithbarca.eu) vil modtage ELF-prisen 2013 ved den årlige ERS-kongres.

Over 70.000 mennesker fra hele Europa har tilmeldt sig kampagnen for at holde op med at ryge, og det er det første initiativ af sin art, der er lanceret af en større offentlig institution og en verdenskendt sportsklub. Kampagnen er blevet rost af både forskere og læger i hele Europa for sin indsats for at reklamere for de livslange fordele ved at holde op med at ryge.

ELF-prisen overrækkes ved åbningen af ERS' årlige kongres (7. - 11. september 2013), hvor omkring 20.000 deltagere fra sundhedssektoren mødes for at drøfte de seneste fremskridt inden for luftvejsmedicinen. 'Quit Smoking With Barça'-kampagnen anerkendes specifikt for sit bidrag til at nedbringe antallet af lungesygdomme i Europa.

Formand for ELF, Monica Fletcher, udtaler, at kampagnen blev udvalgt enstemmigt af dommerpanelet: 'Det, der først og fremmest imponerede os ved kampagnen, var de unikke midler, kampagnen anvender for at nå ud til målgrupper, der ikke hidtil har haft succes med at holde op med at ryge, eller som slet ikke var nået så langt som til at prøve. Kampagnen har hjulpet deltagerne til et varigt rygestop, og den yder et væsentligt bidrag til vores fælles indsats for at sætte fokus på vigtigheden af sunde luftveje.'

En af de primære bevæggrunde bag samarbejdet mellem Europa-Kommissionen og Barça er et fælles engagement i sundhedsfremme, siger Paola Testori Coggi, Generaldirektør for Sundhed og Forbrugere, Europa-Kommissionen. "Det er en stor ære at være her sammen med FC Barcelona for at modtage prisen på vegne af 'Quit Smoking With Barça'-kampagnen. Jeg er meget glad for, at de positive resultater, vi har skabt gennem vores partnerskab, også vinder bredere anerkendelse

i sundhedsfaglig sammenhæng. 70.000 europæere har tilmeldt sig 'Quit Smoking With Barça'-kampagnen, og næsten 400.000 har tilmeldt sig den overordnede kampagne "Eksrygere er ikke til at stoppe" og benytter kampagnens rygestopværktøj "iCoach". Vi håber, at vi fremover kan inspirere endnu flere mennesker til at opleve fordelene ved en røgfri tilværelse."

Dr. Jordi Monés, der er sundhedschef hos FC Barcelona og den primære drivkraft bag klubbens deltagelse i kampagnen, udtaler, "Vi har været meget glade for at få mulighed for at samarbejde med Europa-Kommissionen på så vigtigt et sundhedsområde. Vi er særlig stolte over at stå her i vores egen by, Barcelona, sammen med Europa-Kommissionen og modtage prisen fra ELF. Det er bevis på, at vores budskaber har haft stor gennemslagskraft, og at vores fælles indsats gør en positiv forskel. Hos Barça har vi et slogan, der hedder 'mere end en klub', og vi arbejder på at fremme værdier som respekt, sundhed og socialt engagement. 'Quit Smoking With Barça'-programmet lader os vise det motto i praksis."

Tobak er den største årsag til undgåelige dødsfald i Den Europæiske Union (EU) og skyld i næsten 700.000 dødsfald årligt.[1]Hver fjerde (26%) dødsfald på grund af kræft i EU skyldes rygning, og rygning er årsag til 85% af dødsfald som følge af lungekræft i EU.[2]

'Quit Smoking With Barça'-kampagnen blev lanceret i december 2012 som en videreførelse og udbygning af Europa-Kommissionens vellykkede kampagne "Eksrygere er ikke til at stoppe" (http://www.exsmokers.eu). Ved at udnytte Barças stærke relationer til klubbens flere millioner fans har det nye og unikke partnerskab kunnet nå ud til mange flere af Europas 140 millionerrygere og hjælpe dem med at lægge tobakken væk for altid.

'Quit Smoking with Barça' er en unik sundhedsfremmekampagne udviklet af Saatchi & Saatchi i Bruxelles (http://www.saatchi.be). Programmet er et fælles initiativ mellem FC Barcelona og Europa-Kommissionen, der skal understøtte den løbende bekæmpelse af tobaksrygning og bidrage til at forebygge de næsten 700.000 rygerelaterede dødsfald i Europa hvert år.(http://www.quitsmokingwithbarca.eu).

iCoach (http://www.exsmokers.eu) er en gratis og effektiv sundhedsplatform, der allerede hjælper næsten 400.000 mennesker i hele Europa i deres kamp for at kvitte rygningen for altid. iCoach og FCB iCoach findes også som app til både iPhone og Android (http://www.exsmokers.eu/mobile).

ELF (http://www.europeanlung.org) er en organisation, der arbejder med at formidle information til patienter om lungesygdomme og øge befolkningens kendskab til vigtigheden af sunde luftveje. ERS (http://www.ersnet.org) er Europas største medlemsorganisation for sundhedsfaglige inden for lungemedicin, og organisationen varetager oplysning og uddannelse i indsatsen mod tobaksbekæmpelse og for rygestop i Europa.
