The Ministry of Health has introduced new graphic health warnings on all tobacco products nationwide.
Through a statement released on Friday, June 13, the ministry revealed it had gazetted the third batch of 13 warnings to promote effective tobacco control and the protection of public health.
The new warnings, which are also translated into Swahili and feature approved pictures and pictograms, must now appear on all tobacco product packaging. "This intervention aims to increase public awareness of tobacco-related health risks, deter tobacco use, especially among youth, and protect non-smokers and vulnerable populations," noted the ministry.
