Gov't ready to combat tobacco smoking  

A tripartite condemnation by the executive, legislative and the security forces prohibiting the importation, distribution and sale of tobacco that is claimed to have been the cause of the death of millions of people hits up at the World No Tobacco Day celebration at the National Assembly yesterday.

Hon Churchill Baldeh, the majority leader of the National Assembly, who deputised for the Speaker of the National Assembly, as the guest speaker, said to combat the use of tobacco needs the participation of all and sundry. "We should all campaign against tobacco as it is eating into our youth fabrics, the cream of our nation. The police and other security agents should help to achieve our aim in combating smoking tobacco. MRC has done it. None of their staff smokes in their premises. We can also stop smoking in our offices and work places," he said.
