The initiative saw Alexandria City Centre tie up with two local charities, Future Protectors and Good Companions, to set up a kiosk at the Centre with 30 volunteers distributing information of the ill effects of smoking and giving away mugs to visitors.
The volunteer staff along with the house keeping and security at the Centre supported the efforts by wearing a 'World No Tobacco Day' t-shirt to increase awareness.
Omar Gaafar, General Manager, Alexandria City Centre, said, 'We hope the message spread through this campaign will discourage people from smoking. The range of diseases and conditions caused by smoking is frightening. And it's not just your body that is affected. Your smoking also affects others around you.'
