Teen smoking rate in Kuwait on the rise
Rate of smoking among eight, ninth and tenth grade students have increased by an average of 17 percent in recent years, according to a senior MoH official.
Speaking on the occasion of world no tobacco day, the ministry of health assistant under secretary for public health affairs Dr Yousef Al Nisf, who is also the head of the Kuwait's national anti smoking program, indicated that cigarette smoking among the male pupils aged between 13 and 15 has increased by a quarter in recent years, while increasing by 11 percent among their female peers.
Dr Al Nisf also revealed that a recent survey showed that four out of ten school pupils suffer from passive smoking due to living in homes with one or more family members who are smokers.
Clinic to help those who wish to quit smoking have been established in various health zones in Kuwait, the officials said.

RE: Teen smoking rate in Kuwait on the rise
the children who smoke are the ones who have been brought up badly by their parents...why do our children dont smoke...the parents are responsible for the well being of their children...most of the children smoke and they dont attend school instead while their time outside the school....the parents are supposed to go to school and check on their childrens behaviour and studies once in 3 months at least. If the parent is irresponsible then who is supposed to be blamed........
