Dear @KeTreasury @KRACorporate @Kiptoock @MOH_Kenya @DeboraBarasa raising tobacco & nicotine taxes reduces consumption and also generates revenue that can be reinvested into healthcare to address the harms caused by these products. A win-win strategy!

Kenya can learn from Sweden, strong tobacco and nicotine tax policies helped lower adult smoking rates to just 5.6% one of the lowest globally. We can make it better by banning emerging tobacco products. Tax increases can save lives and fund health.

Kenya can #LeadOnNCDs by prioritizing the implementation of effective Graphic Health Warnings (GHWs) on all tobacco and emerging nicotine products such as nicotine pouches. These warnings are essential for safeguarding public health

What an exciting week for us as communications practitioners in the food policy space in Kenya! We had the opportunity to come together to review and plan our communications work, specifically focusing on front-of-pack warning labels and marketing restrictions for children. Given the urgent need to address diet-related non-communicable diseases in Kenya, this work is incredibly important.

Yesterday, @IILAinfo and partners appeared before @Senate_KE to present our proposed amendments to the Tobacco Control Act (2007). With the proliferation of emerging tobacco and nicotine products it has become imperative for existing regulatory frameworks to be updated to effectively address these new public health threats.
