15PC OF GIRLS SMOKE IN FIVE AFGHAN PROVINCES.
KABUL, June 2 Asia Pulse - Nearly 15 per cent of girl students in five provinces of Afghanistan smoke cigarettes while smoking prevalence among boys around 36 per cent, the Public Health Ministry said on Saturday.
"Smoking prevalence is 35.9 per cent for boys and 14.5 per cent for girls in schoolchildren of five provinces," the ministry said on the World No Tobacco Day. It urged the government to protect the youth by imposing a ban on all tobacco advertisements, promotion and sponsorship.
In a press release, the ministry said this year's campaign focussed on thwarting multi-billion dollar efforts of tobacco companies to attract young people to its addictive products through sophisticated marketing.
