Quitting smoking is not the easiest of the tasks, according to smokers themselves and some experts, who say it is better not to start smoking at all rather than start and begin the fight to stop.

The Ministry of Health has been making efforts to stop, or at least reduce smoking in Kenya. The efforts have included imposing a ban on smoking shisha. The government has also been reluctant to legalize marijuana despite campaigns by some groups for it to do so.
