Comprehensive tobacco control law needed ATN

Three  Health and Wellness Ministers have come and gone from 2011 to date, all promising citizens a law that will protect them from toxic tobacco smoke, easily accessible tobacco products and deceptive tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship by the tobacco industry.

To date the law has not seen the light of day. This is despite the recent launch of the non-communicable diseases strategy, by President Mokgweetsi Masisi, who is also the Founding Patron of the Anti Tobacco Network.
