The Department of Laser Engineering and Optoelectronics held an awareness workshop on (the harm of smoking and its impact on the individual and society) on Monday, 17/2/2025, in the department’s hall and was delivered by Assistant Professor Dr. (Karim Hussein Jawad), head of the anti-smoking subcommittee in the department, and indicated that young people are the basis for the progress and construction of every society and its advancement, and it is our role to preserve this important segment of society and guide them properly and maintain their health and behavior, as the harm of smoking does not only target the smoking person, but its effects extend to cause severe social and economic damage. He also touched on the components that help students to quickly take preventive measures that help them to quit smoking and get rid of its effects before reaching the stage of addiction, and focused on the damages and risks that the smoker and addict may be exposed to, and the negative effects that result from not recognizing their risks early and thus reaching a late stage of addiction.
The workshop was attended by members of the anti-smoking committee and a number of students and employees of the department, and the anti-smoking subcommittee in the department emphasized that it will continue to carry out various awareness activities and events in order to educate our dear students about this deadly danger.
