Thank you for always actively encouraging healthier environment for the children of Punjab. This is a first of its kind step towards a prosperous future! @RanaSikandarH
The School Education Department has taken a monumental step towards creating a healthier environment by imposing a comprehensive ban on tobacco & nicotine products. Having tobacco-free institutions is crucial & we are committed to closely monitoring & ensuring the effective implementation of this ban. I extend my appreciation to @TrustChromatic for their invaluable collaboration in this endeavour.

From the CEO/ED of @TrustChromatic @shariqmktweets : It was an incredible honor to speak at the South Asia Regional Tobacco Control Leadership Program in Colombo, Sri Lanka, organized by the @JohnsHopkinsSPH specially because I am also an alumni of the same program. Sharing my thoughts on how contemporary media can be used to engage youth and build public support for stronger tobacco control policies was a truly rewarding experience. Moderated by the exceptional Steve Tamplin, my session alongside @vaishakhimallik, Associate Director, South Asia Programs, VS, focused on crafting youth-specific media campaigns and strategies to drive lasting community engagement and advocacy. A heartfelt thank you to the @IGTC_Hopkins , Steve Tamplin, and Annette David for their unwavering dedication to this transformative program. Grateful to the superstar of the program, Sejal Saraf for making this initiative a reality and to my incredible peers from Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives. Together, we’re building a future free from the devastating impact of tobacco. Special thanks to Azadi Mathew-Lewis & @TobaccoFreeKids @CTFKGlobal.

Chromatic’s CEO/ED @shariqmktweets & P/O M Tayyab Raza had the pleasure of meeting with Senator @bushraanjumbutt , Chairperson of the Senate Standing Committee on Federal Education and Professional Training. @TrustChromatic congratulated her on assuming this pivotal role and engaged in a productive discussion on various topics concerning children's education, health (tobacco control), and safety. We look forward to collaborating with the Honourable Senator in the future, as Pakistan greatly benefits from youth representation like that of Senator Bushra Anjum Butt in the Senate.
