Rwanda has banned the smoking of water-pipe tobacco popularly known as shisha starting Friday.

It becomes the second country in Africa to ban the substance after Tanzania imposed the ban in July last year.

Rwanda’s Health minister Diane Gashumba said in a statement the action is based on WHO’s concerns about the effects of Shisha tobacco on human health.

“Accordingly, the ministry of health informs general public that the use, advertisement and import of water-pipe tobacco smoking known as shisha tobacco is banned on Rwandan territory effective from December 15.

“Failure to comply with this notice, sanctions as provided by the law will be applied,” Gashumba said.

Shisha smoking has become increasingly popular among young people in Africa, including in Kenya.
