Description
The article talks about a reminder by the ministry of interior about the law forbidding
advertising any product or commercial brand related to tobacco companies on stores,
ads or in commercials, in addition to forbidding any of these companies from
sponsoring any social event or giving away free products starting march 3rd. The
article also mentions a request by the Minsiter of Public Health to the respective
ministers of Defence, Interior, Justice and Education to generalize the application of
Law 174 that aims to limit smoking and to work by that law in their ministries,
emphasizing the dreadful 85% increase in smoking among 13-15 year olds. Finally
the article mentions a press conference set by “Tobacco Free Intiative” and “ABC” at
3pm on March 1st to launch the initiative of making the compound a Smoke-Free
environment.
The article sheds light on the fact that the application of the “no smoking” law is no
longer a dream for many, neither is it just a bunch of useless words for smokers
anymore. The article illustrates what used to be the case for smokers and none
smokers by presenting the story of “Seline” a girl who turns red and starts to cough
upon sitting with her smoking friends and hopes that someday this would end, while
her friend “Rola” makes fun of her wish and says that such a thing is impossible to
accomplish in Lebanon, and this leads to stating that the government has approved the
no smoking law on 17 August 2011. The article then discusses different points of
view from people with this law where some people consider smoking as their only
relief after a long day of work while others consider this law as a savior from a
serious problem, and here there is questioning on how much people would abide by
this law, especially officials. Next, the article explains to the readers about the law
that forbids tobacco companies from advertising in public places which was approved
on March 3, and finally states that the Ministry of Health is the primary responsible
authority behind this law, with the hotline 1214 for complains, and the author takes
several quotes from Rania Baroud, secretary of “Tobacco Free Initiative” NGO.
The article mentions a campaign to prevent smoking organized by ABC, in
collaboration and sponsorship of the minister of environment Nazim Al Khoury and
the participation of depute of parliament Robert Fadel.
The article starts by shedding light on the fact that the “nargile” has become an
almost inseparable part of the Lebanese life and society, and that Lebanese people
have become hugely attached to it, even if a large percentage not if not all users are
aware and even experiencing the side effects that it causes. The article then aims to
raise awareness on the massive damage caused by nargile, referencing the work of
German Professor Olerich Kyle who notes the large tendency among people of age
group 30-44 years to visit clinics due to problems caused by the nargile itself and the
desire of these people to seek help in getting rid of it. The article then discusses many
of the negative effects caused by nargile, and how it helps promote cancer in the
body, and highlights some misconceptions by people and some tricks played by

nargile promoting companies that seek to picture the nargile as a less damaging
product than cigarettes, where in fact it’s 20 times worse. Also the article mentions
other serious health related effects of nargile in addition to social ones, and ends by
mentioning some scientifically proven facts about the side effects of nargile.
The article discusses a study conducted by Virginia Commonwealth University which
studies the effects of nargile on 31 individuals between ages 18 and 50. The article
then highlights the results of the study that aim to show that nargile is no less
damaging than cigarettes and that the results of these studies are helping more in
raising awareness about this subject. The author quotes Professor Thomas Izenbergh
who hopes that this study would be effective in light of a potential vaccination against
smoking which has reached its final stages in the United States.
The article discusses the near beginning of the second phase of the no smoking law in
Lebanon where malls, shops and even buildings with ads have to be fully prepared for
implementation, and thereby have to remove tobacco related products from public
eye. The article also discusses the fine that would be a result of breaking the law,
which is around 135000 Lebanese Liras and up to 4 million Lebanese Liras to
violating companies, and it also emphasizes that loopholes attempted by these
companies would be firmly controlled by the society, and how the addition of the
youth group to the smoking world has made implementing Law 174 a necessity. The
article then illustrates the second phase of the no smoking law, where any attempt of
public advertisement of tobacco related products would be strictly prohibited, and
here the author takes quotes from depute of parliament Atef Majdalani about his
thoughts of both the first and second phases of this law. Finally the article quotes the
opinions of both Dr Rima Nakkash, coordinator of the research group to prevent
smoking at the American University of Beirut, and Rania Baroud the Vice President
of “Tobacco Free Intiative” NGO.
The article discusses the initiative taken by chairman of ABC group depute of

families and a hopeful role model for other industries in the campaign to eliminate
smoking. The article finally highlights that ABC has been organizing media and
