#158 – New nicotine addiction tools 🗓
With Dr Jamilya Sadykova
"My dream is to end preventable deaths in Kazakhstan and the best way to achieve it is putting a stop to tobacco use."
Jamilya Sadykova is a well-known and committed tobacco control leader, whose work has led to Kazakhstan’s adoption of life-saving public health measures. She is the founder and charismatic leader of the national coalition For a Smoke-Free Kazakhstan, which advocates for the adoption and implementation of strong tobacco control measures to save lives and improve public health.
Jamilya’s first success was helping Kazakhstan to pass the country’s first smoke-free law in 2009, an achievement that nobody believed was possible.
