The Tobacco control strategy planning series developed by the American Cancer Society and the International Union Against Cancer, and adapted into Arabic by the World Health Organization also includes two companion guides. The first, Building public awareness about passive smoking hazards, responds to the lack of awareness in many countries of the serious, proven health hazards of secondhand smoke. This lack of awareness severely hampers advocates who try to persuade governments to enact or enforce smoke-free public places or work sites.
