International Letter Campaigns for Tobacco Control
Petition:
Categorize Tobacco as a 'Drug' for Purposes of Regulation
Target:
National Agency for Food Drug Administration & Control (NAFDAC), Nigeria
Context:
NAFDAC has recorded successes in tackling the scourge of adultrated and fake drugs in the Nigerian market. NAFDAC has also succeeded in regulating the availability and dispensation of drugs in Nigeria. NAFDAC should now extend its successes and expertise to regulate the consumption of 'nicotine' ( a major component of cigarettes). By officially categorizing tobacco as a 'drug', its sale, consumption and marketing would be curtailed and monitored.

The Director General National Agency for Food Drug Administration & Control (NAFDAC), Abuja Nigeria Dear Mrs. Dora Akunyilli Cigarettes Ought To Be Classified As A 'Drug' For the sake of the lives of millions of Nigerians who will be adversely affected by the sale, consumption and marketing of tobacco products, particularly cigarette, we implore you to extend your Agencies activities to cover the Tobacco Industry The 1994 Oxford medical companion describes cigarettes as �the only legally available consumer product, which kills people when it is entirely used as intended�. The question immediately arises,�can we legitimately label cigarettes as a �drug�? Lets put the issue to a test: Are cigarettes addictive? Yes! Are cigarettes injurious to health? Yes Can users of cigarettes become dependent thereon? Yes Cigarettes have the quality of a substance of abuse, thus cigarettes actually ought to be treated as a drug. Act now and save the lives of millions of Nigerians. Yours truly,
