Qat

A typical Qat market outside Sana'a

Qat is a plant that is grown in Yemen. We can say that it is the most famous plant in Yemen. Ninety percent of Yemeni people chew Qat. They think that Qat gives them energy and power to do their work in a better way. Qat is a kind of stimulant like tea and coffee. But, it is more damaging than them. There are many people without jobs or with other problems in their lives. They are chewing Qat to make themselves feel better and forget their problems. They are also chewing Qat for fun with groups of friends. And, in the end we want to say that we want to avoid these bad habits by education and awareness.
