Adeje Town Council's health and quality of life department is holding a training workshop, open to the public, for anyone thinking about quitting smoking. It is led by Faustino Afonso, a family and primary care doctor, with a motivating approach: he goes over the most common barriers and fears that make it hard to give up tobacco, such as withdrawal symptoms, relapse and psychological and social dependence, and presents practical steps for getting started, together with the professional and community resources available.
The aim is to strengthen the motivation to change and to show that quitting smoking is an achievable, gradual process in which nobody is left alone. The workshop is free, but registration through the council's form is required. It takes place on Thursday 10 December 2026, from 18:00 to 19:30, at the Centro de Desarrollo Turístico Costa Adeje (CDTCA).
