The Smoking Cessation Clinic at Hamad Medical Corporation’s Medicine Department has a success rate of 35% with its treatment, according to clinic head Dr Ahmad Mohamed al-Mulla.

He was speaking to reporters yesterday on the sidelines of a one-day symposium organised by the Supreme Council of Health on the hazards of second-hand smoke.

“We started operating the smoking cessation clinic 10 years ago, running three clinics per week and we have been recording up to 35% success in helping our patients to stop smoking,” he said.

He said that some 25 patients were being received at each clinic on Monday (7am-3pm), Tuesday (5.30pm-8.30pm) and Wednesday (7am-11am).
