Protecting people from tobacco and second-hand smoke is an important part of preventing NCDs and promoting safe care throughout life.

Safe care for life!

[WHO Lebanon @WHOLebanon]

🚭 Safe care means protecting everyone from preventable harm.

Many people in Lebanon use more than one tobacco product, including cigarettes and arguileh. At the same time, exposure to second-hand smoke remains high, whether at home and in public spaces.

الأشخاص اللي عاشوا تجارب مرتبطة بصحتن النفسية عندن معرفة نابعة من اللي عاشوه، ومن التحدّيات اللي واجهوها ومن تجاربن مع الرعاية والدعم.
وجهات نظرهم المتنوّعة أساسية لتكون خدمات الصحة النفسية أسهل للوصول، وأكثر استجابة للاحتياجات، ومتمحورة حول الأشخاص.
