Tobacco takes up to 9 months to mature, making it difficult for smallholder farmers to grow food crops within the same year.
It also degrades the soil, depletes its essential nutrients and decreases its fertility, making it difficult to grow food.

#HealthData
#HealthData
As of 31 Dec 2020, #COVID19 had infected over 82 million people & killed over 1.8 million. But preliminary estimates suggest the total number of global “excess deaths” directly & indirectly attributable to COVID-19 in 2020 is 1.2 million higher than the official figures reported.
The term “excess deaths” describes deaths beyond what would have been expected under “normal” conditions. It captures not only confirmed deaths, but also #COVID19 deaths that were not correctly diagnosed & reported, as well as deaths attributable to the overall crisis conditions.
Second-hand smoke is dangerous, especially for babies & children. It contributes to many serious health conditions including
🚨 breathing difficulties
🚨 infections
🚨 sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
