A single image can speak louder than words. Strong graphic warnings on tobacco products are not just labels, they are lifesavers. Let’s protect lives and expose the deadly truth about tobacco. #TaxTobaccoSaveLivesUG #TobaccoExposed

Is tobacco something controllable? Yes, it is. Taxing it can be one way of controlling it. How? Lynder🇺🇬 elaborates on this. Remember, #TaxTobaccoSaveLivesUG ! The Center for Tobacco Control in Africa uapa.or.ug/sites/default/…

Alone, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean of possibilities. Taxing tobacco products eliminates infiltration of the industry's usage of its products by our young people and, as such, does reduce the health burden for the government in treating tobacco related diseases.

When nicotine hits harder and comes cheaper, it's our kids who pay the price. Flavored e-cigs are not harmless, they're addiction by design. It's time regulators put health before profit
