Hamad Medical Corporation’s (HMC) Tobacco Control Center, a World Health Organization (WHO) collaborating center for treating tobacco dependence, participated in the Katara International Hunting and Falcons Exhibition (S’hail 2024) from 10 to 14 September. Under the slogan "Catch It Before It Catches You," the center set up an educational booth to raise awareness among exhibition visitors about the harms of tobacco use, particularly new tobacco products, and to highlight the center’s role in supporting smokers who wish to quit. During the exhibition, the center distributed informational brochures, emphasizing the importance of quitting smoking to prevent serious and chronic diseases and lead a healthier lifestyle. The team at the booth also addressed visitor enquiries about effective smoking cessation methods and the services offered by the center. Additionally, carbon monoxide level testing was available for smokers attending the exhibition. The booth highlighted the harmful effects of nicotine pouches, also known as Sweika or European snus, which are small white pouches placed inside the mouth between the gums and inner lip. These pouches contain nicotine and added flavors, with a higher concentration of nicotine than other tobacco products. It is important to note that nicotine pouches have not been approved as a smoking cessation aid. #HMC #SmokingCessation #QuitSmoking #Healthcare #TobaccoControlCenter #Doha #Qatar #WHO #Katara #FalconsExhibition #Catchitbeforeitcatchesyou To read more visit: https://lnkd.in/dxW2Yciw https://lnkd.in/dKseA9kq
