Thông tin chi tiết
Tóm tắt : | 17 p. ; 24 cm. Political, economic, social, cultural, environmental and others factors can all favour health or be harmful to 'good health'. The aim of health advocates is to modify these factors to promote health [1]. Religion too provides opportunities to improve health [2]. It can offer motivation, encouragement and support for healthy lifestyles and behavioural choices. In 2002, the Ministry of Health of Saudi Arabia adopted a new and radical policy approach to strengthening tobacco control through religion. It launched an initiative to make the two holiest cities in Islam, Mecca and Medina, not just smoke-free but literally tobacco-free. The rationale and experiences of the Saudi government in regulating tobacco use in Mecca and Medina are examined in this report |
