Kenya Gets Graphic With Nicotine Pouch Warnings

Kenya's Ministry of Health mandates graphic health warnings on vapes and pouches, similar to cigarettes. The World Health Organization supports this practice, proven to grab attention and deter smoking. Research shows graphic warnings affect risk perception, but smokers can become desensitized. Misleading images on vapes and pouches risk public trust. Accurately depicting health risks is crucial. Kenya should consider harm reduction benefits of vapes and pouches before implementing misleading warnings. Comparisons to Sweden's successful smoking policies could offer valuable insights for Kenya.
