J\u00f3n connects well with the children, and the results have not failed to materialise.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The Cancer Society and the Municipality of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur are behind this project, along with J\u00f3n himself, who discusses the matter openly and with his usual brilliance. In 2010, teenage chewing tobacco use was at a historic high, and it was considered a given that positive prevention was more likely to succeed than other methods. The results have not been slow to come, and the use of smokeless tobacco in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur has fallen from 10% in 2010 to 1% at the end of 2016.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/hafnarfjordur.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/JonJonssonArangur2017.jpg\" alt=\"Jon J\u00f3nsson&#039;s success in 2017\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 613px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 613\/362;\"><\/p>\n<p>Positive prevention is, among other things, about promoting in various ways what is fun and desirable, and encouraging young people to lead a healthy lifestyle. During his visits, J\u00f3n speaks out strongly against the use of chewing tobacco and sings, for example, a love song which features chewing tobacco, prompting the children to reflect on what is truly important in life. Schools in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur have welcomed the initiative from the outset, and teachers have expressed great satisfaction with this positive boost, which works well with the young people and creates a basis for discussion between teachers and pupils about prevention, lifestyle and substance abuse.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00cd sex \u00e1r hefur J\u00f3n Ragnar J\u00f3nsson s\u00f6ngvari, skemmtikraftur, hagfr\u00e6\u00f0ingur, f\u00f3tboltama\u00f0ur og j\u00e1kv\u00e6\u00f0 fyrirmynd heims\u00f3tt alla nemendur \u00ed 8. bekkjum Hafnarfjar\u00f0ar me\u00f0 fr\u00e6\u00f0slu um heilbrig\u00f0an l\u00edfst\u00edl og t\u00f3baksvarnir.
