The Department of Life Sciences at the College of Education for Pure Sciences organized a scientific symposium on the health and social harms of smoking.
The symposium aimed to educate students about the harms of smoking and its economic, health, social and environmental consequences.
The lecturers explained that tobacco use often leads to diseases that affect the heart, liver, and lungs. Smoking is a major risk factor for heart attacks, strokes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
The symposium included topics on the harms of electronic smoking, as well as the effect of passive smoking on non-smokers in the same place, as well as an explanation of the effect on the teeth.
