There was a time in Ghana when smoking was packaged as sophistication.In the 1960s and beyond, cigarette advertisements sold an image of modernity, success, masculinity, and social status. Traditional tobacco forms such as bonto were gradually sidelined as imported cigarette brands entered homes, bars, cinemas, and public spaces. For many of our fathers and grandfathers, smoking was not presented as a health hazard. It was presented as aspiration.The truth was hidden.Today, the cost of that deception is written in hospital wards, funeral gatherings, and family struggles across Ghana.Every year, more than 7,000 Ghanaians die from tobacco-related diseases.
