Abstract

Tobacco is a global public health issue that kills half of its users. Even though the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) mandates countries to implement tobacco cessation programs as a cost-effective approach to assist smokers in quitting and reduce the burden of tobacco use, only one-third of the world's population has access to effective cessation services. Many governments have failed to provide comprehensive, accessible tobacco cessation services due to financial constraints and the belief that people are to blame for tobacco addiction. The World Health Organization's Package of Essential Non-Communicable Diseases (WHO PEN) recommends incorporating tobacco cessation and lifestyle advice into primary healthcare as a cost-effective means of avoiding non-communicable diseases. Despite nearly two decades have passed since ratifying the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), Oman has made little progress in developing a national comprehensive tobacco cessation program. A comprehensive multisectoral effort is necessary to explore the challenges and opportunities for implementing an effective national tobacco cessation program in Oman, which should be part of effective tobacco control legislation aimed at reversing the tobacco trend and assisting smokers in quitting tobacco products. This narrative review aims to explore tobacco use in Oman, its health impacts, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, and puts forward recommendations for implementing a tobacco cessation program.

概述戒烟服务在阿曼:叙述审查。
烟草是一个全球性的公共卫生问题,导致一半的吸烟者死亡。尽管《烟草控制框架公约》要求各国实施戒烟规划,将其作为一种具有成本效益的方法,以帮助吸烟者戒烟和减轻烟草使用负担,但世界上只有三分之一的人口能够获得有效的戒烟服务。由于财政限制和认为烟草成瘾应归咎于人,许多政府未能提供全面、可获得的戒烟服务。世界卫生组织的一揽子基本非传染性疾病(世卫组织PEN)建议将戒烟和生活方式建议纳入初级卫生保健,作为避免非传染性疾病的一种具有成本效益的手段。尽管自批准《烟草控制框架公约》以来已经过去了近20年,但阿曼在制定国家综合戒烟规划方面进展甚微。有必要进行全面的多部门努力,探索在阿曼实施有效的国家戒烟规划所面临的挑战和机遇,该规划应成为旨在扭转烟草趋势和帮助吸烟者戒烟的有效烟草控制立法的一部分。本述评旨在探讨阿曼的烟草使用情况及其对健康的影响、优势、劣势、机会和威胁,并提出实施戒烟规划的建议。
