One-on-one and group counselling sessions are available to all eligible employees and dependents. Over the course of 12 meetings – held during JHAH outpatient clinic opening hours – you will discover how smoking can be a physiological, psychological and behavioral addiction. Nicotine-replacement aids and medications will be offered free of charge to attendees (subject to eligibility and availability).

Workplaces are an ideal setting to reach large groups of employees and encourage them to stop smoking.

The health effects of exposure to second-hand smoke are well known. Limiting this exposure and encouraging workforces to quit tobacco has been an effective business practice worldwide and reflects companies’ commitments towards their employees.

Through professional partnerships and community outreach, we hope to contribute to the reduction of Saudi Arabia’s disease rates and tobacco-induced financial and social burdens, as well as enhancing our population’s wellbeing.
