Every year, over 8,100 Kenyans die as a result of tobacco-related ailments, while over 220,000 children and over 2,737,000 adults continue to use tobacco on a daily basis.
The report summarizes the findings of a national survey conducted twice, in 2012 and 2018, by researchers from the University of Nairobi, the Kenya Medical Research Institute, and in collaboration with the International Tobacco Control Policy Evaluation Project (ITC Project), based at the University of Waterloo in Canada.
The polls, which were done among 1,500 tobacco users and 600 non-tobacco users, discovered that the addition of visual warnings considerably boosted the impact of warnings.
