The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has warned the citizenry especially the young population to be wary of illicit use of tobacco products, which is impacting negatively on health, legal and economic, governance and corruption.
“Illicit tobacco products hook young people into its experiment and use because they are more affordable and misleading young tobacco users by not displaying health warnings”.
Mrs Olivia Agyekumwaa Boateng, Head of Tobacco and Substances of Abuse Department of FDA gave the warning in an interview with the Ghana News Agency.
She explained that illicit trade was posing a serious threat not only in high-income countries; but throughout the world.
