What the Law says about Tobacco products

On July 29, 2007, Kenya and Tanzania became a party of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, drafting laws on how Tabacco products should be used.

In both countries, cigarette smoking is only allowed in designated smoking areas when in public or at workplaces.

The also law prohibits virtually all forms of advertising and promotion of tobacco products. Although sponsorship by the tobacco industry is not completely prohibited, publicity of the sponsorship is prohibited

The law requires all tobacco products to have a rotating, combined picture and text health warnings that must occupy 30 percent of the front (in English) and 50 percent of the back (in Kiswahili). The sale of single cigarettes, small packets of cigarettes, and waterpipe tobacco is also prohibited.

However, there are no restrictions on the sale of tobacco products via the internet or based on location. The sale of tobacco products is prohibited to persons under the age of 18.
