This is the harsh truth about secondhand smoke and the tobacco industry’s activities to protect its interests at the expense of public health. #ExposeTobacco

#SaturdayMood

Novel #tobacco products like #Vapes #eCigarettes & #NicotinePouches are wrongfully promoted as “safe alternatives” to #cigarettes & are meant to help smokers QUIT. It’s EVIDENT that #BigTobacco is targeting young children through flavoring & design of the products

[exposetobacco @exposetobacco]

Congratulations Belgium 🇧🇪!
Pakistan should follow Belgium's steps of imposing a complete ban on nicotine pouches keeping in view the enormous hazards posed by nicotine pouches such as causing addiction and damaging the brain, especially for youngsters.
