Trade agreements can open markets and create economic opportunities. But what happens when the goods involved pose risks to public health? As Kenya participates in regional trade processes, tobacco control safeguards must remain protected. #ProtectHealthInTrade #TIMRKenya

Why train young people? Because they are not just the future, they are the voice and force of change today. #NairobiYouthWatchDog

That was a real show of teamwork, brotherly love and selfless character. Very inspiring.
👀 Jude Bellingham was one goal away from becoming England's highest scorer at a single men's World Cup. 🤝 He handed Bukayo Saka the penalty to complete his hat-trick instead. ⚽️ Ten minutes later, Bellingham scored to break the record anyway. Take a bow, Jude 👏

Tobacco is costing Kenya up to $756 million every year. This is preventable. We Call on the Government of Kenya to treat tobacco as both a public health and economic priority #WNTD2026 #UnmaskTheAppealKE

A child’s brain is still growing. Tobacco and nicotine should not be part of that growth. When young people are exposed before age 15 through peers, shops, screens, and social media, we cannot pretend this is just personal choice. #UnmaskTheAppealKe #WNTD2026

Flavoured tobacco and nicotine products make harmful products more attractive and easier for young people to start. Protecting our communities means protecting youth from products packaged to appeal to them. Ban flavoured tobacco and nicotine products. #UnmaskTheAppealKe

Clipped from @ParliamentofRSA TV on 17 Sep 2023. Misinformation on #ecig during the hearing. Hoping @ProtectOurNext & @satfyf2030 will share the evidence on 1 Puff = 100 cigarettes. Remember this was shared with Members of Parliament deliberating on the "TPEDS" Bill #1Puff100Cig

This #WWWeek focuses on water as a powerful tool to address climate change, poverty & many other water-related challenges. Here's something the world should know: the tobacco industry is a major contributor to exacerbating the water crisis. Spread the word #CigarettesArePlastics

We can’t agree more. The youths play a critical role in promoting sustainable #TobaccoControl efforts.
#Youths are important and powerful in communicating the impact of tobacco use and cultivation: ⬇️ @JsGitali #tobaccocontrol #tobaccoprevention

True, here we have discovered that alot has to be done to save our people, and it's rampant in schools, so this prevention program should be emphasized in learning institutions otherwise things may turn around.
