SEPTEMBER IS SU***DE PREVENTION MONTH

Sometimes, saving a life starts with something as simple as a conversation.

An open, honest conversation can remind someone that they are not alone, that someone cares, and that there is still hope.

Along the Swakopmund Beach Walkway, you’ll find these little spaces that invite you to stop, sit and talk. Perhaps today, that conversation could be the one someone needs.

Check in. Ask how they’re really doing. Listen without judgement. Be present.

You never know the difference a conversation can make.

Government Targets “New” To***co Products

E-cigarettes, vapes, hookahs in crossfire…

The Ministry of Health and Social Services are busy with nationwide public consultative meetings on the proposed amendments to Namibia’s To***co Products Control Act of 2010.

During the consultative meeting at the Ministry of Fisheries’ premises in Swakopmund this morning, Erongo Governor, Dr Nathalia /Goagoses, in her remarks noted that “our children are being turned into zombies,” referring to the availability of conventional to***co products, as well as new products such as vapes, e-cigarettes, hubbly bubbly etcetera to underaged children. The proposed amendment will primarily focus on new products, smoke-free rules, age limits and illegal trade, among others in a quest to strengthen the country’s to***co control measures and address emerging to***co and ni****ne products.
