A ban on smoking in Kenya's public places has come into force, to reduce the number of tobacco-related deaths.

From Monday, anyone smoking in offices, bus stations, airports and sports venue faces a fine of 50,000 Kenya shillings ($700; £375) or six months in prison.

The manufacturers say they have stopped producing cigarettes for the local market because they have not had time to print warnings that cover 50% of the packet size, as the new law requires.
***
Last year the government introduced a 140% tax on cigarettes.

Tanzania has also outlawed smoking in public places.

Wow, an entire COUNTRY where smoking is banned! Hard to believe this is happening -- I can still remember when tobacco was advertised on TV, and what a surprise it was that that was banned.
