Over 45 arrested as Nyali Officials raid Shisha dens

The 45 were arrested at the Hide Out and Escape shisha joints, where more than 50 shisha pots and over 10 cartons containing special shisha flavours were confiscated.

NACADA CEO Anthony Amerikwa has said that they will intensify similar raids in the country to free many young people who have ventured into shisha addiction.

NACADA intensified the crackdown on December 2023, vowing to weed out the vice in the nation.

Shisha smoking has been outlawed in Kenya since 2017 after the State banned the use, import, manufacture, distribution and promotion of the tobacco product.
