Dr. Mo'alej warns of rising smoking rates and unsafe alternatives
In celebration of World No Tobacco Day, Dr. Saniya Muallaj, Head of the Pulmonary Diseases Department at Abdel Rahman Mami Hospital, emphasized that the smoking rate in Tunisia is on the rise, especially among women and children, with the typical age of starting to smoke at 7 years old. A recent study revealed that 14% of children between the ages of 13 and 15 have smoked cigarettes. She pointed out that smoking ban laws are not being effectively enforced, and that tobacco companies are producing alternatives such as electronic cigarettes and heated tobacco to generate profits, despite their health risks, which include lung diseases and cancer.
