Baku – APA-Economics. Egypt, the biggest Arab consumer of cigarettes, is beginning an attempt to ban smoking in public places, BBC News reported.

Alexandria is to be Egypt’s first no smoking city, beginning with a ban on lighting up in government buildings.

Egyptians smoke some 19 billion cigarettes each year, prompting concerns for public health.

Bans on smoking in public places have now been successfully introduced around the world. But officials admit it will be a particular challenge to force Egyptians to quit.

They hope new restrictions will at least make them cut back - and that Alexandria can set an example for the rest of the country.
