In a press statement, he also expressed his admiration of the Association's large-scale programs, campaigns and projects in combating smoking. He added that taking students to anti-smoking clinics to be briefed on the devastating effects of smoking is a smart message for cessation of smoking.

Gerai emphasized the importance of scientific conferences and symposiums on combating smoking, pointing out that the first Anti-Smoking Forum recently organized by the Association in cooperation with Anti-Smoking Program of Health Ministry has been one of the most successful forums attended by him, adding that its recommendations can be universally applied to combating smoking.
