Qatar Foundation And SCH Launch Campaign Against Smoking

The Qatar Foundation and Supreme Council of Health (SCH) launched a campaign against smoking, aiming to raise awareness about the dangers of tobacco, in and around Education City.

The campaign is organized annually by the World Health Organization and in Qatar by the Supreme Council of Health, began recently in the Liberal Arts and Sciences building and moved today to the Recreation Center at Education City.

The Health, Safety, Security and Environment Directorate (HSSE) decided to launch the campaign after the announcement of recent statistics indicating that almost 40 percent of residents in Qatar are smokers, most of whom are people in their teens or early twenties.

“We were determined to have an effective and material participation in the fight against smoking,” said Abdullah Al Modhaki, HSSE director.
