Knowledge Sharing Workshop on Tobacco Control Policies for OIC Member States
SESRIC jointly organised in collaboration with the Ministry of Health of Turkey and the Turkish Green Crescent Society the “Knowledge Sharing Workshop on Tobacco Control Policies for OIC Member States ” in Istanbul, Turkey on 14-16 December 2016.
The Government in Uganda is preparing a tougher law which requires dealers in tobacco products to have licences within a year from the date of commencement. It will also halt all advertising of tobacco in the media, and its sale in small quantities. The regulation will also stop the sale and smoking of tobacco in public places.
The Saudi Arabian government has significantly stepped up the nation’s fight against tobacco use by requiring public places to be smoke-free. The smoke-free policy will apply to government offices, restaurants, cafes, supermarkets and shopping malls in addition to airports, which have been smoke-free since 2011. It even applies to water-pipes, or shisha.
