Botswana’s public health system is on the verge of experiencing a major reset with the passing of the proposed amendment to the country’s Anti-tobacco Legislation. The new Bill is intended to confront the tobacco epidemic which continues to wreak havoc and inflict enduring pain on our youthful population whilst threatening efforts to create a knowledge society.
The bold intervention by Government to introduce the Tobacco Control Bill during the current sitting of Parliament needs to be applauded as a clear signal of departure from the business as usual stance that characterised the country’s approach to tackling the tobacco and health challenge since the passing of the current legislation.
