Mo Salah takes initiative to help promote healthy lifestyles
Mo Salah is a celebrated football player, nicknamed the "Egyptian King". He recently confused fans with a video he posted on his social media - an anti-smoking advertisement starring himself. In the video, Salah urges people to care for their own health and adopt healthy lifestyles by quitting smoking.
Professional athletes have a far and wide reach, with fans all over the world. As an individual it is possible for them to use their positions of influence to promote messages, as Salah has aimed to do here with promoting healthy lifestyles.
