Tobacco Control NG

Tobacco Control NG is a platform for tobacco control advocates to ensure reduction of smoking prevalence and discuss issues towards effective regulations.

The tobacco industry has evolved its look, not its intentions. Behind the sleek branding and flavours is a carefully engineered addiction strategy targeting a new generation. This #WorldNoTobaccoDay, we expose the illusion. #UnmaskTheAppeal #TobaccoControl

Fruit flavours, flashy packaging, and social media hype are designed to attract.

The goal remains the same: recruit new users and sustain nicotine addiction. #UnmaskTheAppeal

Almost 60% of tobacco users wish they could quit.
That’s 750 million people worldwide.

This #WorldNoTobaccoDay, ASH joins our partners in shining a light on all the tactics the tobacco industry uses to addict and maintain their customers.

Tobacco products kill when used exactly as intended. They should not be sold.

For #WorldNoTobaccoDay, we must “unmask the appeal” of tobacco & nicotine products. Behind the flavors, sleek packaging, and influencer marketing is the same business model: addiction for profit.

Today, on #WNTD2026KE, we are reminded that tobacco costs Kenya up to $756 million every year through healthcare costs, lost productivity, and premature deaths.

It's time to put health first and strengthen tobacco control measures that protect current and future generations.

Getting reday for the #WorldNoTobaccoDay.

Tobacco and #nicotine industries design their products to get young people stuck in a cycle of #addiction.

🌬️15 million adolescents (aged 13–15) worldwide already use #ecigarettes.

👦adolescents are on average nine times more likely to #vape than adults.

🚬40 million adolescents (aged 13–15) worldwide use tobacco.

The grip of #tobacco and nicotine addiction can be broken.

The #TobaccoIndustry is rolling out #e-cigs and #HeatedTobacco to hook new addicts — designing them to look techy, flavourful, and clean, especially to attract young users who wouldn’t touch traditional #cigarettes.

Vaping in Nigeria: Green Outside, Deadly Within

When, during the 1920s, the American public began to identify smoking as the cause of their persistent cough, throat irritation, and other related diseases, tobacco companies – fearing a threat to their profits – began a devious media blitz. Using mostly models who posed as doctors, they falsely claimed that cigarettes were harmless or that some cigarette brands were less harmful than others.

Today, June 16, @CAPPAfrica had the honour of presenting a plaque of recognition to Hon. High Chief Bosun Osaloni, Chairman of Ado Local Government, for his bold and visionary move to declare Ado Ekiti a smoke-free city during the 2025 World No Tobacco Day.

We engaged with the Chairman and his high-powered team, including the Vice Chairperson, Heads of Departments, and key local officials, on the next steps toward institutionalising this declaration into a binding local edict or bylaw.

Ado Ekiti is taking bold steps, and @CAPPAfrica is proud to stand with them!

Did you know?
There’s NO safe level of exposure to tobacco smoke.
It can cause cancer, stroke, heart attack, chronic lung disease, and more.
Take the pledge to quit tobacco today and encourage others around you.

A major highlight: Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, was officially declared a smoke-free city by Hon. Bosun Osaloni, Chairman of Ado-Ekiti LGA. A bold move to protect public health and ensure the right to clean air.
