The prevalence of smoking is declining very steadily world over. This has made the tobacco industry very restless and they would try anything to mantain their market. Renewed efforts are required to overcome this! Let us work towards phasing out tobacco use. #Tobaccoendgame!

Tobacco use and exposure to tobacco smoke kills over 8.7 million people each year! Why do people then consume tobacco? ANS: Nicotine Addiction! Can Nicotine Addiction be treated using high dose nicotine? NEVER! SUGAR COATING does not diminish Nicotine Addictiveness! THR is fake!

The lives of our children matter. Let us save them from the tobacco industry. Just like we immunize them against infectious diseases, it is time to shield them from 'infection' by tobacco and nicotine industry. Protect them from nicotine addiction. Photo courtesy of FDA Ghana.
