📍 Monwane Community Outreach 💙

Stop Smoking Support Group (SSSG) team carried out a community outreach initiative in Monwane, engaging with community members through a Kgotla meeting and visits to the local primary school. Our dedicated Community Health Mobilisers shared important information on healthy living, to***co prevention, and the benefits of making positive lifestyle choices.

🚭 Challenge yourself to 24 hours without smoking. Every smoke-free day is a victory, and one day can be the beginning of a healthier future. Remember, lasting change starts with small, consistent steps.

We remain committed to empowering communities with knowledge, encouraging healthier lifestyles, and supporting individuals on their journey toward a to***co-free life.

🌱 Together, we can build a healthier, stronger, and more informed community.

📸 Here are some highlights from today’s outreach.

Behind every puff is ni****ne addiction, health risks, and long-term consequences that many young people are never fully warned about.
Candy flavors. Bright packaging. Trendy marketing.
These are not harmless designs, they are strategies to attract young users.

Our youth have the right to grow up in safe environments, in schools, public places, and workplaces free from the risk of smoke and v**e aerosols.

🚨 𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐆: CHILDREN ARE BEING TARGETED. CHILDREN ARE BECOMING ADDICTED. 🚨

The latest findings are alarming: thousands of children in Botswana are using to***co and ni****ne products, with va**ng becoming increasingly popular among young people.

This is not by accident. To***co and ni****ne companies continue to use attractive flavours, colourful packaging, and digital marketing tactics that appeal to children and adolescents.

At the Anti-To***co Network, we believe every child has the right to grow up free from ni****ne addiction. We call for stronger enforcement of to***co control laws, regulation of emerging ni****ne products, and greater public awareness to protect our children from an industry that profits from addiction.

The health of our children must always come before the profits of the to***co industry.
