Rebuilding economies after conflict is a daunting challenge, especially in the Middle East, where decades of war have left lasting scars on economic structures and societies. Amid a shifting political landscape, a critical window of opportunity has emerged to support post-conflict recovery. International financial assistance will be crucial, yet the key question remains: how can reconstruction efforts and implementing policies deliver sustained economic performance and improve people’s lives? The high cost of inaction not only increases the risk of reverting to instability but also erodes the confidence of both international and regional stakeholders. Genuine recovery requires more than short-term financial injections; it demands a comprehensive approach that focuses on rebuilding institutions, implementing long-term reforms and fostering economic resilience.

Witnessing the prevalence of young people in Lebanon using e-cigarettes and vaping is a recent phenomenon; unlike traditional smoking, the effects of these types of narcotics have not been studied as extensively as the conventional ones.
If you believe that vaping and e-cigarettes are less harmful than traditional smoking, that assumption is incorrect. Here's why:
To start, vaping and e-cigarettes incorporate non-recyclable materials, exacerbating environmental issues and introducing a new concern.
This predicament has gained attention in Europe. In the UK, for instance, a study by the electronic waste recycling organization Material Focus revealed that over 1.3 million e-cigarettes are discarded weekly.
The narrative of smoking has undergone changes, but the narrative of vaping and e-cigarettes is still in its early stages. Until precise findings are available, always bear in mind that smoking in any form poses health risks and can result in severe and fatal illnesses.
