The COVID-19 caseload on the continent is still growing. Its even more urgent now for governments to remind citizens to stay safe, social distance and wear masks. When it comes to smoking, encourage people to stop as smokers are likely to get more severe symptoms #SayNoToTobacco

As we mark World Stroke Day, remember smoking is a leading risk factor, increasing NCDs in Africa. #SayNoToTobacco @KETCA254 @AfricaNoTobacco @IILAinfo @uhca_ug @mwecsofficial @JimArinaitwe @hnamata @AngelaNanyanzi @KombeMartha @ForGlobalEquity @UgandaNcd @ncdalliance

Today is World No Alcohol Day. Alcohol and tobacco are often sued together and are two major causes of rising non-communicable diseases in Africa. Think about your health. #SayNoToTobacco cc @clifflyk @KombeMartha @CedarsRefuge @phiri_paxina @profparry @jtalibita @mwecsofficial

Smoking is the most significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Do yourself a favour and think about your health. #QuitSmoking

[The Center for Tobacco Control in Africa @CTC_AFRICA]

Countries are lifting or easing lockdown restrictions and curfews. But COVID-19 is still a threat. We must still encourage people not to smoke cos they're more likely to get more severe symptoms if they get COVID-19. Share a message, save a life!

@exposetobacco @KETCA254 Good progress and an example to other tobacco farming communities! Kudos Migori Farmers. It is the way to go.

A big loss to tobacco control and development in Africa

[The Center for Tobacco Control in Africa @CTC_AFRICA]

The @CTC_AFRICA has been mourning the untimely death of Zambian tobacco control focal point John Mayeya, along with the tobacco control community in Zambia and on the continent. Read some beautiful words about the man himself, penned by his colleagues https://t.co/l4h6q7Ayag
