The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has seized illicit and unregistered tobacco products from four facilities in Accra in a targeted operation.

The confiscated items included 15 brands of illicit shisha (waterpipe) flavours, three brands of illicit cigarettes, and seven brands of nitrous oxide canisters.

Others were 21 brands of illicit vapes, 10 brands of illicit cigars, and four brands of illegal wraps of tobacco.

The operation is part of activities to mark this year's World No Tobacco Day, which is May 31, and was carried out by FDA officials in collaboration with two police officers at four out of six targeted facilities.
