ERA/FoEN Tasks FG on Illicit Tobacco Trade
For tobacco control measures to be effective, the Federal Government must take proactive measures to tackle the inflow of illicit tobacco products into the country, the Environmental Rights Action/Friends of the Earth Nigeria (ERA/FoEN), has said.
The group in a statement released to mark this year’s World No Tobacco Day (WNTD) said the Tobacco Control Law recently signed by former President Goodluck Jonathan, can only be effective if high taxes were imposed on tobacco products and effective actions taken to end the availability of cheap products through smuggling.
