According to a report by Filipinotimes on June 11, the United Arab Emirates' Ministry of Health and Prevention is actively promoting a smoke-free society and has released comprehensive guidelines for creating smoke-free workplaces to the public.
This guide provides management and employees with procedures for handling misconduct, as well as steps to help employees quit smoking.
Hussain Abdul Rahman Al Rand, Deputy Minister of the Public Health Department of the United Arab Emirates, stated in a press conference that...
The "Smoke-Free Workplace Guidelines" from the Ministry of Health in the United Arab Emirates will serve as a key resource and tool to assist both government and private entities in creating completely smoke-free workplaces. The release of the "Smoke-Free Workplace Guidelines" also aligns with the UAE's commitment to the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC). This convention was ratified in 2005 with the goal of implementing effective measures to prevent exposure to tobacco smoke in workplaces, public transport, and public spaces.
In addition, as early as 2009, the UAE passed Federal Law No. 15, which bans smoking in public transport vehicles and enclosed public spaces. This law also includes other prohibitive regulations: selling tobacco products to those under 18 is forbidden, smoking in the presence of children under 12 is prohibited, and smoking is banned in places such as educational institutions and religious sites.
