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.

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.

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.

#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.

Takeaway 2: Inflation adjustments on tobacco and alcohol products can have a positive impact on public health by discouraging consumption. These measures promote responsible behavior and contribute to a healthier society.

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

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: ⬇️

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.
