In the article titled “A case for increasing taxes on cigarettes, vapes and oral nicotine pouches, Kenya,” published in the Bulletin of the World Health Organization<\/em><\/a>, the authors examine the challenges posed by Kenya’s current tax policies on tobacco and nicotine products. Despite the implementation of the Tobacco Control Act and Kenya’s participation in the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, the country’s tax regime has struggled to curtail cigarette consumption, especially among young people. The article presents a compelling argument for reforming Kenya\u2019s tax policies to curb the rising use of cigarettes, vapes, and nicotine pouches, which threaten the health of the nation’s youth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
