Federal Government To Ban Smoking In Nigeria


The Federal Government, gave indication that smoking would soon be banned in the country as soon as the Anti-Tobacco Bill before the National Assembly was passed into law.

Minister of Health, Professor Onyebuchi Chukwu, who spoke in Abuja at a ministerial platform briefing, insisted that the Federal Government could no longer condone smoking.

“Why are you smoking? Why are you taking what will kill you? What benefit do you derive from smoking?” He asked rhetorically.

What are your thoughts on this proposed ban?
