🌍 Eight years of the Protocol: stronger cooperation against illicit tobacco trade

Today, 25 September, marks 8 years of the Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products. 🎉

With 73 Parties, the Protocol continues to strengthen international cooperation to prevent, detect, investigate and prosecute illicit trade in tobacco products. 🤝🚨

Illicit tobacco trade does not stop at borders. Tackling it requires collective action across countries and sectors — from customs and tax authorities to police and law enforcement. 🌐

🔎 Eight years on, we remain committed to:

✅ Strengthening cooperation and information sharing
✅ Sharing expertise and good practices
✅ Improving investigation and prosecution
✅ Supporting effective implementation of the Protocol

More Parties. Stronger implementation. Greater international cooperation. Together, we can strengthen the global response to the evolving illicit tobacco market. 💪🌍

#InternationalDayOfCharity may be over, but the need to protect public-interest spaces from tobacco-industry influence remains.

#Bangladesh provides an important example of moving from recognizing the problem to closing the loophole.
Previously, its #tobaccocontrol law restricted tobacco companies from using their names, trademarks or symbols in CSR activities. But this still left room for programs operating without obvious tobacco branding.

In December 2025, Bangladesh went further. Its amended law prohibits not only tobacco branding in CSR, but also tobacco-company assistance to organizations, events and programs— addressing the underlying activity, not simply how it is presented.

It is an important reminder that denormalizing tobacco-industry CSR requires more than limiting its visibility.

Effective safeguards must also address the pathways through which such activities can create access, legitimacy and influence.

Today we celebrate the 21st Anniversary to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control! 🎉🌍

For more than two decades, this landmark treaty has stood as a powerful force in protecting present and future generations from the devastating health, social, environmental, and economic consequences of tobacco use. 🚭💙🛡️

Since its adoption, the WHO FCTC has united countries around a shared commitment to evidence-based policies — from smoke-free environments 🚭 and strong health warnings ⚠️ to tobacco taxation 💰 and advertising bans 📵.

Its impact has saved millions of lives, strengthened national public health systems 🏥, and advanced global health equity ⚖️.

As we celebrate 21 years of progress ✨, we renew our collective determination to confront emerging challenges, counter industry interference, and accelerate action toward a tobacco-free world. 🌱

Here’s to continued collaboration 🤝, bold leadership 🌟, and a healthier future for all! 🌎💚

The tobacco industry wants you to believe their products have “evolved.” New colours, new devices, new flavours—same deadly consequences. The rebrand is a distraction from decades of harm. Do not fall for it. #UnmaskTheTacticsKE

[WHO FCTC @FCTCofficial]

It's #WorldAIDSDay, and it's crucial to highlight the intersection of #HIV and tobacco use.

Did you know? The excess mortality rate among smokers living with #HIV is, on average, three times higher than that of the general population. If tobacco use is fully avoided, overall #HIV mortality could be reduced by up to one-quarter.

Implementing the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control is key to addressing both #HIV and #AIDS. 🚭 Evidence-based policies under this framework can integrate tobacco cessation services into existing HIV care, ultimately saving lives and helping governments move closer to the goal of #EndAIDS.

[Tobacco-Free Kids Global @CTFKGlobal]

Youth advocates and a group of NGOs from around the world gathered at the Broken Chair monument in Geneva to call for strong action on the tobacco industry on the eve of #COP11.

Their message was clear: protect our future, safeguard children, and keep the tobacco industry out of health policy. The tobacco industry is preparing to spin, distract, and delay, and these advocates say: our health is not for sale. #FCTCSavesLives

[NCD Alliance @ncdalliance]

It's heartening to see the African countries taking the #LeadOnNCDs ahead of the UN High-Level Meeting (#HLM) on NCDs in 2025.

🗨️"The more we speak together, the higher we’ll be heard in our advocacy efforts," said Prof. Kaushik Ramaiya, President of the ANN at today's Africa Regional Civil Society Coordination Session.

👏On 12 November, @AfricanNCDsNet brought together civil society advocates from the whole continent to brainstorm priorities & opportunities for coordinates advocacy efforts in 2025.

🗨️"One thing I love so much about uniting our efforts, is that we are able to come up with a common position that we can carry forward as an entire continent. I hope that we find the strength to lead together and advance the NCD advocacy towards the HLM and beyond" - @ferdinantmbiy, Chair of the ANN Secretariat in his closing remarks.
