Graphic Health Warning percentage matters more than we think! It can help smokers at least think about quitting

Graphic Health Warning should be increased on cigarette packs as it can help people understand health risks & raise intentions to quit smoking.

This study shows that both smokers & vapers become out of breath, experience muscle fatigue due to constriction of blood vessels. Vaping is harmful, it is not a safe alternative to cigarettes

Vaping damages young people’s lungs as much as smoking, study suggests dlvr.it/TCzZdf
Tobacco Control Policies should be regulated for better implementation.

All kinds of e-cigarettes including vapes are highly addictive and dangerous to human health especially when consumed at a young age!

Vaping might seem harmless, but it’s a hidden danger to your heart and lungs. It's not just the smoke—vaping today could lead to heart problems and lung disease tomorrow. Don’t be misled; vaping is not a safe alternative. Protect your health.

The sale/advertisement of these ridiculous products should be completely Banned in Pakistan as Youth & Children don't know about the harms of the products

Pakistan's children are targeted again by Tobacco industry through kiddie cigarette packs.
@GovtofPakistan should not approve this!
@nhsrcofficial @WHO @JohnsHopkinsSPH @HealthSAcademy @IHHN_PK @VaTobacco @PACTPak @SPARCPK @TrustChromatic @TobaccoFreeKids @PakPMO @FCTCofficial
The global health community is watching as Pakistan decides whether to allow the export of 10-stick “kiddie packs” of cigarettes. These packs are a sinister move by the tobacco industry to target younger consumers, making smoking more accessible and affordable.
The health implications for vulnerable youth are severe. This is a critical moment to reaffirm a commitment to protecting children from the harms of tobacco.

The #tobaccoindustry is trying to sneak 10-stick cigarette packs into the market under the guise of exports. But we know these cheaper packs will end up in the hands of the most vulnerable. We urge the @GovtofPakistan to ban the manufacture, sale & export of these ‘kiddie’ packs.
The tobacco industry is preying on our youth, hooking them on a deadly addiction. We urge the @GovtofPakistan to enforce stricter #tobaccocontrol measures, ban marketing tactics targeting children & invest in crucial healthcare programs.

Tobacco industry wants to bring back "kiddie packs" disguised as exports but they will end up right here, hooking our next generation. 10-stick packs are cheaper and easier for kids to buy, putting their health at risk. We urge the @GovtofPakistan to shut down this scheme.
Vaping is not a stepping stone to be "cool"; it's a gateway to a lifetime of addiction. Teens who vape are way more likely to become smokers later in life.
We urge the @GovtofPakistan to #BanNicotineProducts & take a stand for our youth's health and future.
Pakistan’s Finance Bill 2024-25 raises the price limit for cheap cigarettes, giving the #tobaccoindustry a huge PKR 120 billion profit boost & doing little to curb smoking rates. We need strict measures such as increased taxes across all tobacco products.

Vapes & flavored nicotine products hook kids with candy flavors, but they’re highly addictive & can harm young, developing brains.
We urge the @GovtofPakistan to #BanNicotineProducts & we also urge our youth to stay informed & make healthy choices.
