Adnkronos (Adnkronos) – "Citizens and associations can do a lot. This is demonstrated by the popular initiative bill we are debating in the Senate, which arose precisely from the collaboration that AIOM promoted together with over 90 scientific societies and associations, with the clear goal of reducing smoking." This was stated by Mariolina Castellone (M5S), Vice President of the Senate, speaking in Rome at the pre-congress day of the 28th AIOM National Congress, dedicated to the theme "Oncology and Public Health: A Shared Responsibility."
The proposal to increase the price of cigarettes, he stressed, “is a health policy measure.”
For this reason, he added, "institutions must listen to the associations and professionals who work every day in these areas, especially in oncology. Because, in this field, time means life." Castellone then highlighted the importance of "enabling all citizens to access the same prevention, diagnosis, and treatment pathways."
