🧩 La emoción de la Fórmula 1 también conquista a las infancias. Por eso, es fundamental impedir que empresas tabacaleras como Philip Morris y British American Tobacco se aprovechen de espacios destinados al entretenimiento familiar. ⚠️ La industria tabacalera conoce el poder de estas asociaciones. Por eso es fundamental impedir que las marcas de tabaco se beneficien de espacios pensados para el entretenimiento familiar. #AltoalasTabacaleras #NoMásPublicidaddeTabaco

What can stronger tobacco control policies do to protect health in Viet Nam? In a recent televised discussion, Dr. Quang, Senior Policy Advisor at the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, shared evidence and policy perspectives on strengthening graphic health warnings on tobacco packaging. Dr. Quang has also helped bring attention to the need for a roadmap toward comprehensive smoke-free environments. Viet Nam’s National Assembly is expected to approve changes to the Tobacco Control Law in the coming weeks. Clear, evidence-based discussion can help people understand what the changes would do and why they matter.

🏁 La historia del automovilismo también tiene un pasado ligado a la publicidad del tabaco. Entre cascos, uniformes y recuerdos de grandes pilotos, aparecen marcas de cigarrillos que durante décadas patrocinaron este deporte. 🚨 Cuando estas exhibiciones son accesibles a niñas y niños, debemos cuestionar cómo se presenta y contextualiza esa publicidad. #AltoaLasTabacaleras #NoMásPublicidaddeTabaco

🧩 Parece un juego, pero detrás puede haber una estrategia de marketing. La Fórmula 1 atrae a públicos de todas las edades. La industria tabacalera ha aprovechado históricamente el automovilismo para posicionar sus marcas y asociarlas con emociones positivas. 🚨El entretenimiento infantil no debe ser un vehículo para la publicidad del tabaco. #AltoaLasTabacaleras #NoMásPublicidaddeTabaco

1 in 10 school-going students in Pakistan already use tobacco. A bigger pack warning is one of the simplest ways to change that number. #GHW #tobaccoff #ProtectOurChildren #nosmoking

Tobacco companies should not be able to exploit gaps in the rules while people wait for stronger health protections. Bangladesh has strengthened its tobacco control law, but clear rules are needed to put it into practice. As the Dhaka Tribune argues, those rules must address emerging nicotine products. Authorities must now put comprehensive, enforceable rules in place without delay and follow through with consistent enforcement. The measure of success will be whether the law reduces tobacco exposure and the harm it causes.

The sign says “No Smoking.” The ashtray tells another story. Turkey’s Bırak Nefes Alayım (Let Me Breathe) campaign calls for enforcement of Law No. 4207 so smoke-free rules become reality. Clean air is everyone’s right. nefes.degerhareketi.org
Duvarında ‘Sigara İçmek Yasaktır’ levhası. Masada kül tablası. Havada duman. Bu görüntü tanıdık olabilir. Ama normal olmak zorunda değil. Bırak Nefes Alayım, dumansız hava sahası kurallarıyla gündelik hayatta karşılaştığımız gerçek arasındaki farkı görünür kılmak için başlıyor.

Stronger graphic health warnings make tobacco’s harms harder to ignore and help protect young people from addiction. Pakistan needs packaging that informs, warns and protects. #StrongerWarnings #SaferYouth #TobaccoFreePakistan #PACT

Our partner Vietnam National University (VNU) is building a national smoke-free campus network made up of 14 institutions across Viet Nam. On September 8, the VNU Hanoi Youth Union and its students took the next step by launching the Smoke-Free Youth Club which puts young people at the center of creating tobacco-free lecture halls, dormitories and student events. At the launch, Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids’ China and Viet Nam Program director, Qian Geng, shared lessons from the growing youth movement for tobacco-free campuses in China. As tobacco products increasingly target young people, efforts to reduce tobacco use will go much further when a young generation leads the way. Tobacco-Free Kids looks forward to continuing to support this important work!
