Strong #TobaccoControl legislation is one of the most effective tools available to reduce harm. It can restrict aggressive marketing tactics, close loopholes that allow access to minors, regulate emerging products & strengthen enforcement.

Tobacco & nicotine products are increasingly finding their way to children in schools.

Schools should be protected environments focused on learning, without exposure to addictive substances.

Safeguarding our young people is essential!
