🚬 Tobacco use remains one of the leading preventable causes of death globally.
- Over 8 million people die annually from tobacco-related diseases worldwide.
- In Nigeria, tobacco use significantly contributes to the rising burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cancer, stroke, heart disease, and chronic respiratory illnesses.
- NCDs account for about 29% of all deaths in Nigeria, with tobacco as a major risk factor.
- The good news?
Strong tobacco control policies save lives, reduce healthcare costs, and protect young people from addiction.
Join us as Dr. Dare shares practical insights on:
✅ Why tobacco control is a public health priority
✅ The link between tobacco use and NCDs in Ọ̀yo State
✅ The role of policy, budgeting, and accountability
