Overview
Every single day in Nigeria, 25,000 children between the ages of 10 and 14 smoke cigarettes.
Early exposure to tobacco can interfere with brain development and make young people more susceptible to nicotine addiction, which can lead to a lifetime of dependency on tobacco products.
Not only is tobacco very affordable in Nigeria, but it is also accessible and packaged in various attractive forms.
The tobacco industry in Nigeria is poorly regulated. Tobacco products were taxed at 10% until recently increased to 30% as against the 75% and 50% recommended by the World Health Organisation and The Economic Community of West African States.
We cannot continue to turn a blind eye to this threat. In response, Busaosowo Foundation launched – “Tobacco-Free Generation Campaign” to educate children and teenagers about the dangers of tobacco consumption/exposure,equip them with the knowledge required to be able to make informed decisions and stand up against the pressures associated with being a young person.
This is an ongoing campaign that we intend to continue to push until we have an effective commitment by government and relevant stakeholders to protecting children and young people from tobacco industry interference in Nigeria.
