“At the moment, they are spending a million dollars an hour,” said Prasad. "And, why are they doing it? They are doing it to find replacements users. [Because tobacco causes] eight million premature deaths every year."
To fight the problem, the WHO is launching a new kit to protect students aged 13 to 17 from the tobacco industry’s manipulative practices. WHO Director of Health Promotion, Ruediger Krech, says the kit will teach young people about the industry’s sales tactics which will help them to say no.

“The tool kit exposes tactics such as parties and concerts hosted by the tobacco industry, e-cigarette flavors that attract youth like bubble-gum and candy, and product placement in popular youth streaming shows,” said Krech.
To reach a young audience, the WHO is spreading its "no tobacco" message on TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube and other social media.Health officials are also urging schools, celebrities and influencers to reject all offers of sponsorship from the industry. And they are calling on TV and streaming services to stop showing tobacco or e-cigarette use on screen. According to the WHO, more than 40 million young people aged 13 to 15 smoke and use tobacco products.

Q1 What is the minimum age to buy tobacco products in your country? Do you think it should be changed?
A. Well. I have no idea how old people can buy tobacco products in my country. Becasue i don't smoke and I am not interested in any of tobacco products like E-cigalet or something. I guess it is legal for person who are over 20 to get tobacoo and alcohol. I think it is not gonna change.
