The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has confiscated a significant quantity of unregistered and illicit tobacco products during a targeted enforcement operation across four facilities in Accra.
The seized items include 15 brands of illegal shisha flavours, three brands of illicit cigarettes, seven brands of nitrous oxide canisters, 21 brands of unregistered vapes, 10 brands of illegal cigars, and four brands of unauthorised tobacco wraps.
The operation was conducted in collaboration with law enforcement officers as part of activities marking World No Tobacco Day on May 31.
The enforcement exercise spanned six locations-Kwabenya, East Legon, Abeka, Fadama, Tabora, and Achimota-though two of the targeted facilities were closed at the time of inspection.
