The holy month of Ramadan presents an opportune time for smokers to give up the habit of smoking, a senior health official has said.
Head of Hamad Medical Corporation’s (HMC) Tobacco Control Center Dr Ahmad Al Mulla, underlined that fasting has a lot of positive effects on one’s health, and those benefits are especially prominent in tobacco users who give up smoking.
“For smokers, quitting is often easier during Ramadan as those who fast are already required to abstain from food and drink, as well as from smoking cigarettes and using other tobacco products, from dawn to sunset,” Dr Al Mulla said.
