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!”

Joseph is de voorzitter van de Campagne voor Veiligere Alternatieven, een pan-Afrikaanse organisatie die pleit voor het invoeren van beleid ter vermindering van tabaksschade in Afrika. Joseph heeft ook uitgebreide ervaring in tabakscontrole en het creëren van rookvrije omgevingen. 

“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.
