The World Health Organisation (WHO) Regional Director, Matshidiso Moeti, has called for a complete ban on public smoking and the use of e-cigarettes and vaping in every African country.
This was contained in a statement issued by the organisation on Friday to mark 2024 World No Tobacco Day, which is themed: “Protecting Children from Tobacco Industry Interference.”
Mrs Moeti said African countries need to implement stringent measures to protect children from the usage of tobacco and nicotine products.
