Fair Future Launches a New Anti-Tobacco Poster
Fair Future’s latest anti-tobacco poster highlights the grave dangers of passive smoking. Annually, tobacco claims the lives of 1.2 million non-smokers, affecting children, pregnant women, and whole families. This campaign is set to be launched throughout rural Indonesia with the aim of educating and safeguarding those most vulnerable.
Air Pollution Increases Health Risks for Millions
Air pollution serves as an unseen threat, impacting millions globally. Tiny particles infiltrate the lungs and bloodstream, inflicting serious harm on the heart, brain, and respiratory system. In nations such as Indonesia, pollution ranks as a primary cause of mortality. Recognizing these dangers is essential for safeguarding public health.
Tobacco Harms More Than Smokers Protect Others Now
Tobacco impacts more than just the smokers themselves—secondhand smoke endangers children, pregnant women, and whole communities. To combat this issue, Fair Future is initiating an urgent campaign focused on educating people about passive smoke exposure and promoting direct community action. The time has come to eliminate this silent threat.
