NTA held a capacity building session with University Students focusing on the role of tobacco taxation in reducing tobacco use and protecting public health.

The training equipped youth with knowledge on tobacco's health and economic impacts, the importance of tax policy in tobacco control, and how to advocate for stronger regulations.

Through interactive discussions and activities, students emerged as informed advocates ready to support national efforts in reducing tobacco affordability and promoting healthier communities.

Joint Budget Analysis on NCDs Today, NTA and civil society in the tobacco control space conducted a joint budget analysis focused on Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) in Kenya. @KENCO Tobacco Control and Health Promotion Alliance SCAD STOWELINK FOUNDATION @NSDAK International Institute for Legislative Affairs

The analysis highlights key trends, allocations, and gaps in the budgeting for NCD prevention and control — with a strong emphasis on tobacco control and health system strengthening.

Tobacco and nicotine use, along with exposure to second-hand smoke, remains a major preventable risk factor for NCDs. Tobacco use kills over 8 million people annually, including more than 800,000 non-smokers exposed to second-hand smoke.

Tobacco kills over 9,000 Kenyans annually yet taxes remain far below global targets. Raising tobacco taxes is key to saving lives and funding NCD care.
