Ban on alcohol should be next.

I think people will be mad maybe there should be smoking areas put into place to get the people happy to avoid any complicated issues because unfortunately people have been smoking for many many years
…Are you kidding me, the shear genius of this man. Think the ginormous costs of health care saved and the lives saved…
GOOD for him! Do NOT allow this POISON in AFRICA. keep those things NOT of African people OUT!
Just dont ban the blessed herb 🌿
He should close down all industries producing cigarettes and tobacco… This guy is just Wise anything likewise
This is what a real leader looks like
They should completely be banned world wide..
Great decision

Insurgents are a bigger risk to health there than cigarettes unfortunately.

He is his brothers keeper
More of us die from eating fatty and unhealthy foods and alcohol. So….
To ban smoking is a great decision
This ain’t it Ibrahim, rebuild and bring infrastructure don’t start passing frivolous laws, ban sugar and salt then.
My father lived to 88 years old and one neighbor lived to 101 and was smoker
Yes he is awesome
This is amazing
Yes, it's a great& wonderful idea.Leave that for the serpent seed's to do, NOT his people.
I'm a former smoker, wished I'd never started, can't stand to be near someone smoking, in fact since quitting 2010, not only do I automatically hold my breath if I see or smell someone smoking cigarettes, but I can often smell someone smoking as far away as being across the street from me without seeing them. Someone once shared with me an extremely useful bit of info back when I smoked. He told me the thing about cigarettes was, "There is fire on one end and a fool on the other." APTTMHGOI
C'est ici que va commencer l'hubris qui confirme l'adage : le pouvoir corrompt ; le pouvoir absolu corrompt absolument. Aucun pouvoir politique ne doit empiéter sur la liberté individuelle sous prétexte de savoir mieux que chacun ce qui est bon pour lui. On peut rendre le fait de fumer, coûteux. On peut le rendre impopulaire. On peut l'interdire dans les endroits clos… Mais la décision de fumer ou non doit rester à l'individu. Il ne s'agit pas d'héroïne ou de Fentanyl. Sankara aussi s'est cru autorisé à dire aux citoyens comment ils devaient se comporter à l'intérieur de leur foyer : qui devait faire le marché quel jour par exemple. Pourquoi pas à quel moment coucher avec sa femme ? L'Etat n'a rien à voir dans le micro management de l'individu. Ibrahim Traoré doit se limiter à son rôle qu'il joue bien mieux que ceux qui l'ont précédé : faire du BF un pays autosuffisant dans l'essentiel et industrialisé. Son combat exemplaire contre la corruption et contre les djihadistes est remarquable. Son souci du bien commun est indiscutable. Mais la vie privée des gens ne le regarde pas sauf s'il veut devenir un tyran.
Yes Traore is the standard of African leadership, including restrictions on tobacco products. Make Africa Great Again.
Good, I wish Cameroon would do the same with beer …
There leader doing great job..fire not suppose to be inside you
this is where the dictatorship starts, we need change, but people have lives other than your country goals
Seems priorities are shifting what a shame… I mean how about modernization, and education. Plus! People have been smoking all kinds of stuff for ages, maybe police ingredients?
