DAR ES SALAAM Online Men's Women's Nike Air Max 90 EZ White Australia , July 12 (Xinhua) -- Anti-tobacco campaigners onWednesday appealed to leaders in Tanzania to show political will inensuring that harmful use of tobacco was controlled.

Tanzania ratified the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control,under the World Health Organization (WHO) but the country has notyet enacted a legislation that would control tobacco use.

"The new legislation should ensure that harmful tobacco use iscontrolled to save people from diseases caused by smoking such ascancer," the anti-tobacco campaigner told journalists in Dar esSalaam.
She said because of this there was need to have a committedleadership that would help push for a law that would eventually putthis power in check.

"But statistics on the negative impact of tobacco use mean thatthere is need for an urgent change in the way the government looksat things," said Kagaruki.
Yussuf Saloojee, former Executive Director of South Africa'sNational Council against Smoking, called for the need to raisetaxes much higher for the tobacco industry.
"There are countries such as Australia which have succeeded incontrolling the hazards caused by tobacco by raising taxes," saidSaloojee.
"This would finally influence the behavior of the end users, bydiscouraging harmful consumption-especially the youth," saidSaloojee.
Sarah Maongezi, from the Department of Non-Communicable Diseasesin the Ministry of Health, said the government was currently takingmeasures to control tobacco use Discount Air Max TN Men's Nike Black White Australia , including working to ensure thebill is tabled in the coming parliament.
