As a part of the programme, the hazards of smoking were explained to the public through scientific workshops, field visits and people’s councils in residential areas, First Lieutenant Saif Ali Al Jabri, Director of the Community Police Affairs, Al Ain Branch said.

He said the police were keen on developing a sense of participation among the members of the society. This will help solve the health and social problems that threaten the structure of the society and create awareness among people on the hazards of smoking.
