Smoking Rates among adolescents in Jordan reached 3 …
On May 31, Jordan and the world renew the “International Day of Tobacco tobacco to the tooth tooth” under the slogan “Exposing the Tempets” for 2025, indicating that the World Health Organization is classified as 33.9%of the highest rates in the highest number of countries in the world.
The title of this year is focused on exposing the methods of using tobacco industry circles to attract women and young people, by selling taste and color products that lead to drugs.
Tobacco abuse is the first cause of death, while the Eastern Mediterranean of the World Health Organization has a heavy burden as a result of this phenomenon, which records high smoking rates in adolescents, especially Jordan, Lebanon and Egypt.
The prevalence of new nicotine products such as electronic cigarettes and hot tobacco has contributed to this crisis in the most vulnerable groups.
There are 37 million children around the world, between the ages of 13 and 15 years, while the percentage of children in the Eastern Mediterranean region reached 43% of children and 20% of the same ages reached 20% of girls. The highest rate was recorded at 43.3%of the occupied Palestinian land (West Bank), Jordan 33.9%and Syria was 31.6%.
Reports indicate that electronic cigarettes provided with attractive flavors and color designs are one of the most important industrial equipment that targets young people because in some countries, 9 out of 10 smokers of electronic cigarettes use flavor products in the midst of more than 16 thousand flavors.
When the gap between men and women shrinks in women and women, the entry of addiction to women and women increases, which reveals them to severe health risks such as cervical cancer, osteoporosis and fertility problems.
In this context, the regional director of the World Health Organization, Hanan Hassan Belgi, said: “Our region records the highest smoking among young people worldwide, which requested an emergency intervention to protect the future generations.
In response to this confusing situation, the regional office of the organization began an effort for women and adolescents, taking into account social and economic factors and health care requirements, and they are very vulnerable to the wrongly promoting tobacco products.
The organization called for a joint movement between governments, local communities and concerned parties, which include banning flavors and attractive designs for tobacco products, setting up healthy warnings in packages, controlling ads and promoting tobacco products and increasing taxes on these products.
“We must work with all governments led by governments to reduce the use of attractive color flavors and designs, especially growing products, but not electronic cigarettes and electronic vapor cigarettes (al -Fab).”
On the International Day of Tobacco Pallavi, the World Health Organization called on the tobacco industry to detect the tobacco industry and to work for its deceitful systems, and to work for free healthy communities: “Together, we can create a group and protect our communities and health.”
