"content": " Hon. Speaker, I beg to ask the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Health the following Question: (i) Is the Cabinet Secretary aware of the sale of a highly addictive nicotine product with the brand name “LYFT” which is sold in pouches in retail outlets countrywide, particularly in Kiambu Constituency? (ii) What action, if any, has the Ministry taken to ensure that the sale of this product is restricted to adults, considering that the target market seems to be unsuspecting minors and youth, causing adverse health complications, addictions and increased school dropout rates? (iii) Could the CS clarify whether the product is registered as a drug in Kenya, and confirm whether sufficient tests have been conducted with respect to its purity and grade of ingredients used in its manufacture? (iv) What are the recorded short-term and long-term side effects of “LYFT nicotine pouches” on humans, and how has the Ministry sensitized the public about the side effects? Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
