WVA is delighted to announce that Joseph Magero has joined the WVA’s advisory board!

To celebrate the news, the WVA Director Michael Landl said: “I am excited to welcome Joseph Magero as a part of the WVA’s advisory board. Joseph is leading the Campaign for Safer Alternatives — an organisation that advocates for tobacco harm reduction and progressive vaping policies across Africa. I am looking forward to working with Joseph with joint efforts!”

Is é Joseph ina chathaoirleach ar an Feachtas um Roghanna Eile Níos Sábháilte, eagraíocht pan-Afracach a mholann glacadh le beartais laghdaithe díobhála tobac san Afraic. Tá taithí fhairsing ag Joseph freisin ag obair i rialú tobac, ag cruthú timpeallachtaí saor ó thobac. 

“Despite my efforts, smoking deaths remained on the increase, mandating a rethink in my approach to tobacco control,“ stated Joseph. Consequently, he now champions substituting conventional cigarettes with reduced-risk products for smokers to reduce smoking-related diseases and mortality in Africa.
