Women sensitized on tobacco dangers 

Lobatse has been chosen to host the National No Tobacco Day, which is scheduled for the 31st May 2010.

The theme of the commemoration is Gender and Tobacco and more emphasised would be on women because they are vulnerable as they easily fall into traps of believing that smoking could reduce weight.

Mr Clifford Matsoga from thwe Ministry of Health urged Urban Development Committee members to own the event and give it the necessary support to make it a success.

He also informed members that prior to the commemoration, a new project named Second Hand Smoking would be piloted in Lobatse and it would focus on prevention of second hand smoke. The project is also piloted in Mochudi and is supported by World Health Organisation..
