In a decisive move to combat tobacco use, Kenya has unveiled a new series of graphic health warnings targeting nicotine and tobacco products.
Led by the State Department of Public Health and Professional Standards in the Ministry of Health and the Tobacco Control Board, these warnings aim to convey the severe health risks associated with tobacco use to both current users and potential initiates.
The countryโs strong commitment to tobacco control is evident through the implementation and enforcement of the Tobacco Control Act. With the evolving landscape of tobacco products, including new and emerging nicotine products, ongoing efforts are essential to address fresh challenges.
By introducing new graphic health warnings, Kenya reaffirms its dedication to protecting public health and empowering citizens to make informed decisions about tobacco and nicotine consumption.
