In recognition of World No Tobacco Day, the Faculty of Nursing – Nursing Department at Tishk International University was launched a dedicated Anti-Tobacco Awareness Workshop on May 26, 2025. This initiative was part of a broader effort to educate students, faculty, staff, and the wider community about the severe health risks associated with tobacco use and the benefits of living a tobacco-free life.
📅 Date: May 26, 2025
📍 Venue: Main Entrance, Main Building
🕘 Time: 9:30 AM – 1:30 PM
Tobacco continues to be one of the leading causes of preventable illness and death worldwide. Through this event, TIU aims to amplify global efforts in reducing tobacco consumption by offering a platform for education, dialogue, and support. The program will feature expert-led presentations, personal testimonies from individuals who have faced and overcome smoking addiction, and practical advice on how to quit.
Interactive exhibits, including a poster exhibition and advisory tables, also provided engaging learning experiences and access to important cessation resources.
This awareness campaign serves not only as a preventive health initiative but also as a commitment to cultivating a healthier university environment. We invite all members of the TIU community to attend, participate, and join us in advocating for a smoke-free future.
