Milford Ma, July 4, 2012-The Romanian 2012 Quit&Win Contest has concluded and winners are announced after being verified using NicCheck I test strips.
The Romanian 2012
Quit&Win Contest has concluded. This year the contest enrolled 273
participants and from these George Ghiorghisor of Calarasi and Mirela Barbu of
Gaesti were identified as the 2 Grand Prize winners.
Participants went through
a telephone screening process and then successful participants were validated
through biomarker testing with NicCheck by entities such as Calarasi Public
Health Authority and Gaesti Artic Plant Dispensary. The results were used to
prove the winners were negative, non-smokers. The 2 Grand Prize winners will
each receive a 2 persons (husband/wife), 11 day sojourn at the renown
Life-Style Centers in Herghelia/Mures and Podis/Bacau respectively, valued at
about $1000 each.
In addition, 4 people will
be granted one year long subscriptions to British Medical Journal - Romanian
Edition and Viata Medical (Medical Life) while the Publishing House Viata si
Sanatate (Life & Health) will offer prizes in books and subscriptions to
the Viata&Sanatate Magazine to the most active supporters.
The Romanian Quit&Win
campaigns have persuaded thousands of people to quit smoking and NicCheck has
been used since 2000 as the biomarker test to determine the ultimate winners.
NicCheck is a dry
chemistry dipstick for the semi-quantitative
measurement of nicotine and nicotine metabolites in urine as an aid in the
verification of a person’s true smoking status. This 15 minute test yields a
semi-quantitative measurement of a person’s nicotine consumption based on the
color intensity of the reaction found on the NicCheck test strips.
