affects of second-hand smoke.
Antonella Cardone, project manager of the Partnership, says in some parts of http://www.obdii.co.uk/cables-and-connectors/obdii-female-banana Africa governments are taking important steps towards protecting their populations from the affects of tobacco.
There are several countries now in Africa, which have developed smoke free policies, said Antonella Cardone. We can definitely mention Niger and Kenya, then Mauritius - those are just a few.
But Cardone says in many African countries citizens still have no protection.  Ghana, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Uganda are highlighted in the report as countries that are failing to implement smoke-free laws.
Cardone says efforts to put smoke-free laws in place are being hampered by the tobacco industry.  She says the industry uses unsavory tactics to convince African governments that tobacco is important to economic activity.
The population affected by this risk is growing as the tobacco industry now is mainly promoting their product to low and middle income countries, she said.
The report highlights Kenya, where the tobacco industry has made a legal challenge to a strong smoke-free law passed by parliament.
Cardone says while the world focuses on health-related crises in Africa such as AIDS and malaria, little attention is paid to the cancer risks caused by tobacco.
It is the first overall health threat causing death that is preventable, said Cardone.
According to the Tobacco Atlas, published by the World Lung Foundation and American Most cancers Society, 10 percent from the world's population smokes.  It says if current trends hold tobacco will kill a billion people this century - that is 10 times the number it took in the 20th century.
