Prevention and Elimination of Tobacco Consumption Among Youths
Countries around the world are attempting to eliminate tobacco usage by: (1) developing and implementing policies and laws to reduce both the demand and supply of tobacco; and (2) raising awareness about the harmful effects of tobacco, especially among young people, to protect them from this affliction.
KHCC held a training workshop in cooperation with the Ministry of Public Health in Qatar to help trainers prepare competencies for school counselors and social workers to design and implement integrated school programs.
