Mansour: Shisha profits can't offset cancer costs
Dr. Assem Mansour, Director General of the King Hussein Cancer Center, commented on the proposed recommendations to reorganize the offering of shisha in public places. He emphasized that such practices conflict with current government policies that impose a complete smoking ban in indoor spaces. He explained that these recommendations could facilitate the spread of shisha and increase its popularity, thereby raising the risks of tobacco-related diseases, especially since the center deals with cases of patients suffering from lung and skin cancers resulting from early smoking. He reaffirmed that any plans to enable this sector to reduce fees or amend policies would not benefit public health, and would constitute a violation of public health laws that strictly prohibit smoking in public places.
