Answer:
The Ministry of Public Health has launched a national campaign to curb the impacts of smoking and other tobacco use on its residents.
The three-phased, multi-year campaign aims to encourage residents to follow the tobacco control law, understand the risks associated with tobacco use, to discourage youth from starting the habit and to direct people to useful resources to help them quit.
HE the Minister of Public Health Dr Hanan Mohamed al-Kuwari said, “Smoking is a significant public health issue in the State of Qatar. Around 37% of the population over the age of 15 say they currently smoke tobacco and we continue to see more young people take up the habit. The National Health Strategy 2018-2022 sets a target of reducing the prevalence of smoking, and to achieve this, it is important that we redouble our efforts to combat tobacco use. This includes enforcement of our law on tobacco control which is not only designed to reduce tobacco consumption in Qatar but also to protect non-smokers — such as children — who are exposed to harmful second-hand smoke. This campaign highlights our commitment to achieving that goal, and reducing the impact tobacco has on our community.”
