Glad it doesn't affect 4:20. They can as well ban cigarette.

saasala:
They should Ban Shisha (Hookah)...

Current evidence indicates shisha may cause numerous health problems. Hookah smoking appears to increase the risk of several cancers (lung, esophageal, and gastric), pulmonary diseases (impaired pulmonary function, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema), coronary artery disease, periodontal disease, obstetrical and perinatal problems (low birth weight and pulmonary problems at birth), larynx and voice changes, and osteoporosis. Many of the studies to date have methodological limitations, such as not measuring hookah use in a standardized way. Larger, high quality studies are needed to learn more about the long-term health effects of hookah use and of exposure to hookah smoke.

chukzyfcbb:
Good move, however FG shouldn't stop there. They should increase the taxes on these local tobacco manufacturing. when the price of cigarette pack jumps from say 200naira to 500naira, consumption will reduce.
We may not be active smokers, but when within our confines or space and someone is puffing a stick, the smoke that will cloud that atmosphere will be inhaled by you turning you into a passive smoker. Thus, endangering your health. In the end, we all are affected.
#####INCREASE TOBACCO TAXES IN NIGERIA

kpaofame:


Weed intake would increase...them go even start smoking bitter leaf than stop consuming...Smoking is an addiction

Badboiz:


Weed. Not every one knows 420 but you my friend are a bad guy

6. Prohibition of smoking in anywhere on the premises of a child care facility, educational facility, and healthcare facility. Other prohibited for smoking include playgrounds, amusement parks, plazas, public parks, stadia, public transport, restaurants’ bar, and other public gathering spaces.

Mynd44:

Its there but not fully. The only one that has been implemented is the one about adverts.

Even outside Nigeria, Minors try to beat the system to try to buy cigarette and some get away with it

Pebcak:

Number 2 though

2. Ban of sale of cigarettes in single sticks; cigarettes must be sold in packs of 20 sticks only.

whats the reasoning behind this, what I can think of is if you wan to die from smoking we can help you achieve that by forcing you to smoke more


so it will be illegal for 18yrs old to buy cigarette but a full grown man can marry 8 yrs old girl BS BS BS all over the place

is FG trying to encourage chain smoking?

Mynd44:


If you cant afford 20 sticks, you should not smoke at all as you are most likely not going to be able to afford the health side-effects

Number 8 is already in effect though. Except any of you has seen a cigarette advert in recent years

kpaofame:


Whoever have access to Shisha is capable and responsible for his/her own health...It is not common among the masses...na yeyebrities dey use am for now
