Lifestyle is one of the determinants of health. Several factors influence family lifestyle in the United Arab Emirates, such as smoking. Tobacco use still presents a great danger to health. It caused the deaths of more than six million people worldwide in 2010 (Aden, Karrar, Shafey & Al Hosani, 2013). The UAE faces many negative effects related to tobacco, such as cardiovascular diseases which account for 37.5% of all deaths in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi (Aden, Karrar, Shafey, & Al Hosani, 2013) . Injuries can lead to mortality and disability. It was the second leading cause of death in the UAE between 2000 and 2008, estimated at 1,200 deaths per year. Approximately 9% of child deaths were caused by injuries between 2000 and 2008 (Loney, Aw, Daniel, Handysides, Ali, Blair, Grivna & Shah, 2013). The third aspect is food hygiene. Food hygiene describes the preparation, storage and cooking of food to prevent foodborne illness. In this report, the lifestyle of a UAE family will be demonstrated in order to know the knowledge, attitude and practice towards these three aspects. This family is made up of a father, a mother, two children and a servant. First of all, smoking is one of the main causes of a large number of serious diseases. The father I interviewed is a regular smoker. He started smoking at the age of 19. Several factors encouraged him to start smoking, such as curiosity and peer pressure. He believes that quitting smoking can be very difficult due to the addictive nature of nicotine. Smokers also rely on cigarettes to manage their anger, stress, anxiety and irritability (Saha, 2013).

It is recommended to clean the refrigerator once a week (Zelman, 2004). Additionally, the housekeeper stores raw meat on the top shelf of the refrigerator. On the other hand, raw meat should be placed on the bottom shelf to prevent it from falling on other foods. In conclusion, the three previous aspects of lifestyle are associated with the detriment of health. The father must stop smoking as soon as possible because it affects the whole family. Parents should make some changes to their home to provide a safe environment for their children. The mother and servant should acquire new knowledge to avoid food contamination.
