Are current tobacco control policies truly tailored to African realities, or are they simply borrowed from elsewhere and imposed without regard for local feasibility? https://t.co/GPkxY3Hyaz #WNTD#WVD#WorldVapeDay#WorldNoTobaccoDay#WNTD26
#Heatedtobaccoproducts are a relatively new nicotine product, but what real-world evidence supports their use as a #safernicotineproduct?
#GSTHR's latest Briefing Paper explores how these products have helped switch people from smoking around the world👇https://t.co/9Je22ayhfO
African countries have a unique opportunity to implement tobacco harm reduction policies that save lives and reduce healthcare burdens. Our governments should investigate and get inspiration from countries that ensure everyone has the option to choose a less harmful path #THR
The Department of Health has responded to public submissions on the Tobacco Products and Electronic Delivery Systems Control Bill, offering to change some definitions to assuage concerns #SouthAfrica

In #Kenya and #Nigeria, tobacco use claims more than 38,000 lives every year, leaving families grieving loved ones lost to a preventable tragedy.
This public health crisis demands urgent action.
A smoke-free future is possible through evidence-based approaches like tobacco harm reduction #THR https://t.co/H19vVC92UO
Tobacco harm reduction is simple: if people can’t or won’t quit nicotine, let’s give them safer alternatives instead of cigarettes.
Burning tobacco causes most of the disease, not nicotine itself. Switching to smoke-free options dramatically reduces harm.
It’s necessary because millions still smoke. It’s important because saving lives matters more than ideology🚭 #TobaccoHarmReduction #Smoking #Nicotine #Vaping #NicotinePouches #NRT
If Kenya combined THR products with better cessation support and advanced lung cancer treatment, smoking deaths could drop from 8,000 to 3,400 annually- a 58% cut.
This would sharply reduce pressure on overstretched health services @Senate_KE

Watch today's interview with Dr Rohan Sequeira @rohseq, who examines how public health distorts the public’s understanding of nicotine and how misinformation continues to block harm reduction.

From award-winning advocacy to global collaboration.
This year’s GFN brought passion, science and powerful voices for THR all into one room.
It’s where ideas are tested, evidence is debated, and people fighting the same uphill battle finally find community.
He didn't say anything about the abductors. You rescued over 80 persons from their kidnappers and no news about whether or not they were caught or killed.
It means you've paid heavy ransom for their release. Nigerian govt is paying ransom to Fulani bandits.
We're not safe in this country.
We inspect 4 key agendas for FCTC #COP11 and find them unfit for Global South where 80% tobacco users live; and propose a Fund to help poor nations develop context-based policies than the current top-down coercion.

The media play a major role in shaping the THR conversation, so sharing accurate, science-based information is crucial. Misinformation — often spread without proper fact-checking — hurts consumers and public health.
For 20 years, the @FCTCofficial has ignored harm reduction, and smoking rates in low- and middle-income countries remain stubbornly high! They cannot continue to use politics over lives or sideline science while 1.1 billion people remain at risk. It’s time to put people first and embrace safer alternatives #FCTCSavesLives #COP11 #FCTCCOP11 #COP11FCTC #COP11
