The Tobacco Cessation Center at Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) organized a number of educational and health activities and events in the last quarter of 2024 to enhance community awareness and inform the public about the risks of tobacco product consumption, especially new products such as electronic cigarettes, heated tobacco products, and nicotine pouches. The Center also aimed to help users quit smoking and overcome this harmful habit.
The Tobacco Cessation Center intensified awareness campaigns in educational institutions by launching a campaign in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education across several schools in Qatar. The campaign aimed to raise awareness, provide accurate information, and correct misconceptions about tobacco and its products, while also reducing tobacco use among youths.
