The World Health Organisation has issued a strong call for governments worldwide to ban all flavours in tobacco and nicotine products, including cigarettes, e-cigarettes, pouches, and hookah pipes. 

The tobacco epidemic is recognised as one of the biggest public health threats the world has ever encountered.

This statement was made by the Minister of Health and Social Services, Dr. Kalumbi Shangula, during the commemoration of World No Tobacco Day, held in Oshakati.
