The Partnership for Healthy Cities is a prestigious global network of cities committed to saving lives by preventing non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and injuries, supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies in partnership with the World Health Organisation and Vital Strategies. It is a global network of 70 cities where Mayors have committed to prevent NCDs – including cancer, diabetes, heart disease and chronic lung disease through proven interventions.
The City of Cape Town (CCT) is proud to be selected for the Partnership for Healthy Cities with Bloomberg Philanthropies and Vital Strategies.
The new Control of Tobacco Products and Electronic Delivery Systems Bill, when promulgated, will promote a 100% smoke-free environment for all, including important amendments around stricter rules on where one is allowed to smoke; the inclusion of e-cigarettes under tobacco products; enforcement of plain packaging; the banning of tobacco products advertising at tills; and eliminating cigarette vending machines.
In 2020 the CCT was selected for Phase II of the Bloomberg Partnership for Healthy Cities.
For this phase the City has elected to focus on the impact of tobacco use and secondhand smoke on the health of citizens.
An informative program has been put together to best understand the Control of Tobacco Products and Electronic Delivery Systems Bill.
