At least 15 million children (13–15 years) are already using e-cigarettes. We at the World Heart Federation are urging governments everywhere to step up tobacco control by raising tobacco taxes and banning advertising. Act NOW to protect the next generation.

Around 165,000 people die every year from heart disease linked to alcohol usage. We reiterate that alcohol offers NO health benefits or protective effects, even at low or moderate levels of consumption, including for heart health. Sugary drinks and alcohol are not being sufficiently taxed and are becoming more affordable, according to the latest report by @WHO. This fuels obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and injuries, especially among children and young adults. The World Heart Federation urges governments to implement at least 50% excise taxes on tobacco, alcohol, and sugary drinks to fund essential health services and save millions of lives.

🚨 Sugary drinks are responsible for more than 2 million new cases of diabetes and 1 million new cases of heart disease every year. Even more worrisome, sugary drinks and alcohol are not being sufficiently taxed and are becoming more affordable, according to the latest report released by @WHO. This fuels obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and injuries, especially among children and young adults. We at the World Heart Federation are urging governments to implement at least 50% excise taxes on tobacco, alcohol, and sugary drinks to fund essential health services and save millions of lives.
