The Kenyan government has taken a decisive step in curbing the use of Shisha within its borders, imposing a comprehensive ban on its importation, manufacture, sale, and usage. Interior CS Kithure Kindiki made the announcement, stressing that the ban also extends to any form of advertisement, promotion, or distribution of Shisha, effective immediately.

Kindiki warned that establishments found in violation of this prohibition would face immediate closure. He directed County Security Teams to enforce these directives diligently, leaving no room for non-compliance.

Additionally, the CS emphasized the importance of adherence to labeling and packaging regulations outlined in the Tobacco Control Act 2007 and the Tobacco Control Regulations 2014. Any tobacco products failing to meet these standards must be withdrawn from the market without delay.

The decision comes in the wake of intensified efforts by the National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA) to crack down on Shisha-related activities across the country. Recent raids and arrests targeting establishments involved in Shisha trade have underscored the government’s commitment to combating its usage.

In a recent operation, NACADA officers apprehended four individuals associated with the sale and distribution of Shisha products at a popular restaurant in Nairobi’s Kilimani area. Those detained included the manager, sellers, and a storekeeper, marking another significant step in the ongoing efforts to eradicate Shisha from Kenyan markets.

The ban reflects a broader global trend towards stricter regulations on tobacco and related products due to their adverse health effects. By taking decisive action, Kenya aims to safeguard public health and prevent the proliferation of harmful substances within its borders.
