🚨It's World No Tobacco Day 2025 🚨

🗓️ May 31st is NOT just another day. It’s a global wake-up call. And this year, the message is loud and clear:

Tobacco companies are not selling style. They’re selling addiction.

🎯 What’s Happening?
In 2025, the World Health Organization (WHO) is turning the spotlight on the deceptive tactics used by Big Tobacco to hook the next generation. And believe it or not, Nigeria is one of their prime targets.

💡 Here’s How They’re Doing It:

🟡 Fancy, Bright Packaging:
Tobacco products are now dressed up to look like candy bars or energy drinks — sleek, colorful, and dangerously misleading.

🟣 Flavored Tobacco:
Mango, mint, vanilla, bubble gum — no, this isn’t ice cream. These are flavors designed to mask the harshness of tobacco and make smoking feel "cool" to teenagers.

🔵 Social Media Manipulation:
From TikTok to Instagram, influencers (some paid, some unaware) are glamorizing vaping and smoking without ever showing the health consequences.

🤔 Why Should You Care?
Because the youth they’re targeting are your brothers, sisters, classmates, and even your future kids. These companies don’t care about your lungs — they care about your wallet and lifelong dependence.

🚫 This is NOT freedom. It’s manipulation.

🔥 It’s Time to UNMASK the Appeal.

📣 Join the fight. Speak out. Share this message. Talk to a friend who vapes or smokes. Educate your community. Push for stronger laws on advertising and flavored products.

Abeg no drive your car today, if the car dey smoke.

Lol if Una like du world no Water day..

If the original owners of tobacco were not white, it would have been a banned substance.
Tobacco is actually more harmful than alcohol and marijuana.

Okayyy, I hope we can get more sensible comments today if online miscreant would keep to this advise

people have been taking all sorts of weird things right from Adam nao
Na today I wan stop am?

...and some people will begin to smoke from today.

This is a good initiative especially on the last day of the month, so that someone wanting to quit can do so from June 1st.

Well I just smoked Esse Change this morning and I already had in mind to go cold turkey, so this article is another very good sign for me to stop smoking from June 1st.

The surprising thing is that the below warning is boldly written in the packet of cigarettes yet they still smoke...


"Smokers are liable to die young"

"Smoking causes mouth cancer"

I haven't understood the marketing gimmick behind Tobacco products like they cigarette, same people urging you to buy will also warn you of the danger. You will even see some scary graphic pictures on the pack of cigarette brands yet they forecast huge sales at the end of the period. Now just recently I read of a Cigarette brand lunching a new brand of cigarettes to help people gradually withraw from smoking Lol. If this isn't reverse psychology what else can it be?

Health is wealth

Yeah Bwana you are right, even more worst than KiVu Land OX-DUNG WEED

Make I go buy my packet of rothmans jhare...

Lol

May God deliver those addicted to it.

In their retirement age them smokers will trade health for wealth. I know one man in my village that my mother told me that before she was married that the man was already a smoker and up till now he's still smoking. My mother told me that the man has smoke upto 3 trailers of cigar in his life time.

Smoking kills but the Chainsmokers won't tell you what they are passing through they are looking for somebody to put into the game because they are not proud of their life. Remember, misery makes strange bedfellows.

I will not understand why put this much campaign against a product instead of outrightly stop the production.

Why tackle the symptoms instead of the disease.

There's written and pictorial warnings on every tobacco pack, boldly telling you what you're buying is poisonous and it'll kill you. But you still go ahead buy it, should I blame the company for your own foolishness?

your wééd will not be imported

Tobacco is highly addictive.

very nonsense something.

JuanDeDios:
@blue
Basic freedoms. Not sure you'd understand though.

Freedom to kill yourself gradually?

bro, most doctors warn about quitting cold turkey , they say it's injurious to health.

They advise withdrawing gradually. If you smoke a pack a day, reduce it to half and gradually to one stick a day before you comot hand.

I hate cigarettes, even the smell pisses me off.

I rather smoke Igbo than smoke cigar
