Anti-tobacco advocacy event held at the Turkmen Agricultural University

An educational meeting was organized at the S.A. Niyazov Turkmen Agricultural University to discuss the fight against tobacco and the prevention of its harmful effects. This event was carried out within the framework of the month-long anti-tobacco action plan being held across the country during May. Representatives of the Mejlis of Turkmenistan, relevant ministries, and law enforcement agencies attended the meeting. This was reported on the official website of the higher education institution.

As noted during the speeches, significant work is being carried out based on the State Program of the President "Saglyk" (Health) to strengthen public health and implement healthy lifestyle principles. University students were provided with detailed information about the harm of tobacco to human health and the importance of international cooperation in this field, particularly the work conducted with the World Health Organization.

It was also emphasized that the Law of Turkmenistan "On protecting the health of citizens from the effects of tobacco smoke and the consequences of using tobacco products" and the National Program for turning Turkmenistan into a tobacco-free country for 2022–2025 are being successfully implemented. These documents serve as an important foundation for transforming Turkmenistan into a tobacco-free nation.

At the end of the event, participants expressed their gratitude to the Hero-Arkadag and Arkadagly Hero Serdar, who create all conditions for our people to live a healthy life.
