#Tobacco products move across borders through regional trade and customs arrangements.
Understanding how these systems work is essential to monitoring their implications for tobacco control and public health.
Trade policy is also a public health issue.

Tobacco industry interference does not stop at the health sector. Trade and economic spaces also matter. Explore the factsheet to understand where these interests intersect: https://t.co/VnS8mNgrxT

@MokayaKelvinOb @Ngugimburu11 @IILAinfo @IndustryKE @Investment_Ke @ForeignOfficeKE @MOH_Kenya @NAssemblyKE @NACommitteeKE @KETCA254 @scadkenya @AfricaNoTobacco Well said. This is why FCTC Article 5.3 matters: it calls on governments to protect health policy from tobacco industry interests

If trade rules help a pack of cigarettes move across Africa, what should help health protections move with it?🤔

Data? Policy alignment? Awareness?

#ProtectHealthInTrade #TIMRKenya @AfCFTA

[Kenyan Network of Cancer Organizations @kenconetwork]

Africa’s trade is growing. So must health.

We call for:
✅ Strong tobacco & nicotine taxes protected as markets integrate
✅ Health at the table in trade talks
✅ Monitoring of public health impact

Trade & health can win together.

When health policy meets trade policy, who gets heard?

This fact sheet looks at 4 areas where trade rules can shape public health laws.

Read it. Share it. Ask for transparency.

#ProtectHealthInTrade #TIMRKenya

[Kenyan Network of Cancer Organizations @kenconetwork]

The next battle for cancer prevention may be fought in a trade room, not a hospital.

Tobacco is a leading preventable cause of cancer, and industry interference follows policy into trade and investment.

Monitor it. Expose it. Respond.

Trade rules can shape how countries regulate tobacco—and ultimately affect public health. Mandate @MOH_Kenya as a permanent stakeholder on national AfCFTA committees to screen trade rules, challenge corporate claims, and protect tobacco control.

1/ The Tobacco Control (Amendment) Bill, Senate Bill No. 35 of 2024, proposes changes to the existing framework, including provisions on e-cigarettes, nicotine pouches, advertising,taxation, health warnings, online sales & protection of young people.
#PassTobaccoControlBill2024KE

[Kenyan Network of Cancer Organizations @kenconetwork]

Do not let the next generation pay for today’s loopholes. Defend strong health warnings and plain packaging, and ensure no nicotine product is given a branding advantage at the expense of public health.

[Tobacco Control and Health Promotion Alliance @KETCA254]

NACADA's 2024 university-student survey reported nicotine-pouch use of 4.2% among university students, alongside 5.8% for e-cigarettes. We are advocating for stronger controls on emerging nicotine products. #ProtectOurYouthKE #PassTobaccoControlBill2024KE

[International Institute for Legislative Affairs @IILAinfo]

Kenya’s tobacco-control framework is under review.

The Tobacco Control (Amendment) Bill, 2024, is before the National Assembly, with public hearings taking place.

Public participation is an opportunity to understand the proposals and contribute views to the process.
