She addressed smoking as one of the negative social and psychological phenomena prevalent among young people, highlighting its harmful health effects and its negative impact on students\u2019 cognitive abilities and academic achievement, as well as its environmental and societal consequences. She also discussed the role of toxic substances resulting from smoking in weakening concentration and reducing motivation toward learning.<\/p>\n<p>At the conclusion of the workshop, several recommendations were proposed, most notably the need to strengthen cooperation among educational and academic institutions to limit the phenomenon of smoking, to focus on building students\u2019 personalities and addressing their intellectual and cultural gaps, to activate the role of the media in supporting guidance and awareness efforts, and to intensify programs aimed at helping smokers quit. These efforts contribute to establishing a healthy and safe university environment.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_gallery interval=&#8221;3&#8243; images=&#8221;9939&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;] Under the patronage of the Dean of the College of Engineering at the University of Baghdad, Professor Dr. &#8230; <a class=\"cz_readmore\" href=\"https:\/\/en.coeng.uobaghdad.edu.iq\/?p=9936\"><i class=\"fa fa-angle-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><span>\u0627\u0644\u0645\u0632\u064a\u062f<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":165,"featured_media":9938,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,53,4,67,66,54,39,50],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9936","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-constant-links","category-sdg3","category-important-links","category-sdg17","category-sdg16","category-sdg4","category-survey-engineering","category-sustainability"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
