Health groups urge the World Health Organization (WHO) to revoke the PH's nomination to lead the 78th World Health Assembly (WHA), citing serious concerns about the country's recent engagements with the tobacco industry.

The PH health secretary Teodoro Herbosa recently posed for photos while accepting donations from Philip Morris International (PMI).

The image depicts a large group of men, most likely Maori people, seated on the banks of a river beneath a tree. The photograph appears to be black and white with an antique feel, suggesting it may have been taken several decades ago. In this scene, various individuals are sitting casually in groups or pairs; some lean against each other for support while others sit upright. They display relaxed postures, many resting their legs on the ground or crossed at the ankles. Their clothing is simple and suited to a warm climate: sleeveless shirts, tank tops, shorts, and sandals. Among them, several individuals are engaged in smoking cigarettes, indicated by visible smoke trails and hand positions holding lit cigarettes. The atmosphere seems informal as they engage with one another through conversation or shared activities. In the background, there is an expansive landscape that includes a dry field extending to meet hills on the horizon under a hazy sky suggesting either dawn or dusk lighting conditions. On the tree branches above them hangs multiple bundles of eels, which could be indicative of their cultural practices and means of livelihood connected with fishing or trade. Overall, this image captures a moment in time where these individuals are taking respite from activities to socialize together under natural surroundings that reflect simplicity and close-knit community life.

Today, fewer than one in five young American adults reported smoking #cigarettes in the past year—with smoking having declined more than 50% from its peak.

While occasional and social smoking among young adults persists, the overall trend from 1988 to 2023 across casual and heavy smoking reveals a remarkable and sustained decline.
