More than 600,000
who die annually from tobacco related diseases are non-smokers exposed to
second-hand smoke. The world’s leading preventable cause of death claiming the
lives of 6 million people each is tobacco use which is a slow, but more often

President to get a Tobacco Control bill passed. Most significant is the setup

with the task of drafting an executive bill.
However, despite
public utterances in May & July 2013 both by the President and the Hon.
Minister of Health, Prof.

Tobacco Control
Nigeria is a policy change and public health campaign project using Social
Media to advance tobacco control and support the passage of a comprehensive
domestic Tobacco Control (TC) law compliant with the World Health
Organization’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control
(FCTC), to which
Nigeria is a signatory. As part of the project, we have launched an online
petition to encourage the Honourable Health Minister, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu in
his commitment and quest to pass the comprehensive Tobacco Control for
Legislature in Nigeria. The petition can be signed on
The TobaccoCtrl
petition is in conjunction with Social Responsibility Manager
