Over 3.4 billion views. That’s how far pro-tobacco content has spread on social media—glamorizing addiction and targeting youth. Every scroll, every swipe, another hit of manipulation. Ban digital tobacco marketing. Protect our Youth. #WNTD2025KE

Let this moment remind us that behind every cigarette lies a trail of addiction, disease, and loss. Today's destruction is more than symbolic. Tobacco has no place in our future.

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

We urge Ministry of Health TCB KENYA State Department for Public Health to ensure transparency and strict enforcement of Article 5.3 of the WHO FCTC. Protecting public health requires shielding policymaking from tobacco industry interference. . . . #WorldNoTobaccoDay #WNTD2025KE

Tobacco-related illnesses cost Kenya $396 million annually. For every $1 earned, Kenya loses $2–$3 in healthcare expenses and productivity loss. The industry profits, but Kenyans suffer. #WNTD2025KE

Tobacco is more than just a personal choice—it’s a global health crisis. The industry profits from addiction, while millions suffer from cancer, heart disease, and respiratory illnesses. We must continue to educate, advocate, and take action. #WNTD2025KE
