Anti-smoking events were organised at various corners of the country on Thursday. At the Yamee-ulmultakeen Mosque in the province’s Hat Yai district, campaigners actively urged Muslims to abstain from smoking during the ongoing month of Ramadan. Activists, therefore, believe it can be a good start for smokers to try to shake off their smoking habit. In Phitsanulok province, the Buddhachinaraj Hospital invited smokers to its anti-smoking clinic for counselling and nicotine-free gum. In Bangkok, the Siriraj Hospital organised a seminar on the dangers of smoking so as to encourage people to stay clear of cigarettes.
