Empowering pharmacists to support tobacco cessation in the Eastern Mediterranean Region

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IE">In the Eastern Mediterranean Region, 17.9 %
of people aged 15 years and over are tobacco users. Given the global and
regional prevalence and burden of tobacco use, particularly as a risk factor
for noncommunicable diseases, it is important that the role of pharmacists in
tobacco use prevention and cessation is expanded and consolidated. FIP and the
Eastern Mediterranean Regional Pharmaceutical Forum invite you to join this
event to learn more about the burden of tobacco use in the Eastern
Mediterranean region and the role that pharmacists can play in tobacco
cessation. The event includes insights from the WHO Regional Office, country
examples of pharmacist services and the presentation of FIP resources to
advance tobacco cessation through pharmacists.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
