Abstract
The tobacco use epidemic is one of the major global public health challenges and causes > 7 million deaths each year, including ~70 000 Saudis who die from smoking-related diseases. To present recent government initiatives in Saudi Arabia that have been designed to combat tobacco use in the country. This was a review based on secondary data sources such as published reports, articles in newspapers, and research studies published in various journals. We present initiatives taken from June 2017 to April 2019 by the Saudi government to combat tobacco use, including value-added tax on tobacco, antismoking campaigns, antismoking clinics, mobile apps and other initiatives. The study suggests that the government should evaluate the impact of these initiatives on tobacco control in Saudi Arabia.
