Abstract

Tobacco use and exposure has been known as one of the leading causes of premature mortality worldwide. Tobacco control measures have been considered one of the strategies for reducing the burden of NCDs, improving public health, and strengthening the health system's response to threats and pandemics. The State of Qatar has put tobacco control a national public health priority as it has adopted various tobacco control measures that the WHO classified as high-impact measures. This has resulted in achieving tobacco control milestones which led to constant monitoring of tobacco use and the provision of smoking cessation services at all healthcare levels. However, there is still much work to be done to fill the gaps and respond to the emergence of novel tobacco products and market strategies in an effective way. This review highlights the status of tobacco use and exposure in the State of Qatar, and focus on the progress, and challenges in the implementation of tobacco control policies and smoking cessation services between 2002 and 2022.

2002 至 2022 年卡塔尔的烟草控制：20 年的进步与挑战。

众所周知，烟草的使用和接触是全球过早死亡的主要原因之一。烟草控制措施被认为是减轻非传染性疾病负担、改善公共卫生以及加强卫生系统应对威胁和流行病的战略之一。卡塔尔国将烟草控制作为国家公共卫生的优先事项，采取了各种被世卫组织列为高影响力措施的烟草控制措施。这导致实现了烟草控制的里程碑，从而对烟草使用情况进行持续监测，并在各级医疗保健机构提供戒烟服务。然而，要填补空白并有效应对新型烟草产品和市场策略的出现，仍有许多工作要做。本综述重点介绍了卡塔尔国的烟草使用和烟草暴露状况，并重点关注 2002 年至 2022 年期间在实施烟草控制政策和戒烟服务方面取得的进展和面临的挑战。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Public Health Research (JPHR) is an online Open Access, peer-reviewed journal in the field of public health science. The aim of the journal is to stimulate debate and dissemination of knowledge in the public health field in order to improve efficacy, effectiveness and efficiency of public health interventions to improve health outcomes of populations. This aim can only be achieved by adopting a global and multidisciplinary approach. The Journal of Public Health Research publishes contributions from both the “traditional'' disciplines of public health, including hygiene, epidemiology, health education, environmental health, occupational health, health policy, hospital management, health economics, law and ethics as well as from the area of new health care fields including social science, communication science, eHealth and mHealth philosophy, health technology assessment, genetics research implications, population-mental health, gender and disparity issues, global and migration-related themes. In support of this approach, JPHR strongly encourages the use of real multidisciplinary approaches and analyses in the manuscripts submitted to the journal. In addition to Original research, Systematic Review, Meta-analysis, Meta-synthesis and Perspectives and Debate articles, JPHR publishes newsworthy Brief Reports, Letters and Study Protocols related to public health and public health management activities.
