1/3. The tobacco industry is disguising addiction as innovation, but we see through the deception. Nicotine pouches & e-cigarettes are marketed as “smoke-free,” but that does not mean they are harmless. These products keep users hooked, fueling dependence and

Don’t fall for it. “Harm reduction” is the new marketing smokescreen. 🔍 49.6% of youth tried e-cigarettes thinking they were “safer”. Kenya cannot afford myths dressed as solutions. #wntd2025ke #TuongeeNCDs Eva Njenga National Cancer Control Program Kenya

Nicotine is targeting our youth, and it's hitting the mark. 🚨 NACADA’s 2024 report reveals a surge in use. Let’s seal the cracks in regulation, boost enforcement, and shield this generation from a lifetime of addiction. The future depends on it. #WNTD2025KE

Behind the flavors, packaging, and “safer” claims lies a deadly industry targeting our youth and economy. Get the facts. Raise your voice. Demand stronger tobacco control. #WNTD2025ke #TobaccoExposed

My friend Bobby a Tobacco Control Champion has been arrested today for calling out Health PS Muthonis request to BAT Kenya to partner on a health education initiative. Which is against the Tobacco Control Regulations of Kenya 🇰🇪 #WNTD2025KE

Strict adherence to WHO FCTC Article 5.3 and Kenya’s Tobacco Control Laws is crucial to safeguarding progress and preventing tobacco industry influence. The Ministry must fully honor and implement this mandate. #WNTD202KE #ResistIndustryInterference #FCTC
