The Ministry of Health will start a crackdown on popular cosmetics and tobacco-related products used in the nation, including women's lipstick, which he claims is laced with hard drugs, according to Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale.
Duale told the Senate Committee on Delegated Legislation, chaired by Tana River Senator Danson Mungatana, to deliberate on the newly developed Graphic Health Warnings (GHWs) for tobacco products to aid the government's efforts.
According to the CS, most of these cosmetic products, mainly shipped from China, pose a health risk to the youth and need to be regulated.
The Health CS singled out products such as lipsticks and cosmetics, warning that many of them are not what they appear to be.
