British American Tobacco Kenya underreported 9.6B KES in revenue. According to Tobacco Control Research Group, BATK hid KES 9.6B (USD 93M) in 2017-2018.

Industrially produced trans fats remain in our food system due to lack of strong regulation. But profits for manufacturers should never come at the cost of Kenyan lives. We demand action: eliminate trans fats for good. #TransFatFreeKenya #TransFatFreeEAC

This #WNTD2025KE, we call for the complete removal of e-cigarettes, nicotine pouches, and other emerging tobacco products from the Kenyan market; they are not harmless alternatives โ€” theyโ€™re the tobacco industryโ€™s rebranded trap! Ministry of Health letโ€™s unmask the appeal.

Tobacco kills over 12,000 Kenyans annually (about 33deaths daily) 1 in 6 deaths from tobacco-related illnesses are due to smoking. No flavour,no packaging is worth your life. We demand FCTC enforcement. #WNTD2025KE

Graphic Health Warnings make the deadly harms of cigarettes undeniable.But it's youth- targeted "safer" alternatives are slipping through the cracks. This isnโ€™t about protecting Big Tobacco but about closing the loopholes that allow addiction to change form, not disappear
