Queen Letizia attends "Tobacco or Health" conference & lunch for Brazil's President
On Wednesday, Queen Letizia attended the European Conference "Tobacco or Health" in Madrid. The conference brings together experts in public health, smoking, and tobacco control policies from across Europe to discuss the latest developments in the field and promote effective measures to reduce tobacco use and improve public health.
In her speech, Queen Letizia said: “Addressing an issue like the tobacco epidemic requires intelligence, unity and a coordinated strategy that integrates prevention, legal and care measures, as well as control policies that have the potential to reduce its negative impact on health. Professor Carlos López Otín always reminds us that prevention is the culture of life. And a healthy life requires curiosity about the knowledge that helps us make all those daily decisions that affect our health. Meaning: what we eat, drink, breathe, think, what we do not smoke, and the exercise we do. Every single day of our life. Let us promote that individual responsibility and now let us listen during these three days to those who really know.”
After the conference, Queen Letizia joined King Felipe as they hosted an official lunch for the President of Brazil Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, and the First Lady, Rosángela Lula da Silva, at the Royal Palace.
Queen Letizia wore a dress made by the Palace’s seamstress with her Magrit pumps and clutch. She paired the outfit with her Bulgari earrings and her Coreterno ring.
