@hassanique Shisha ban is a ease to a boy child. No more heavy bills on night out.

@Asamoah_ Shisha is banned. Thank God. You need to visit 7D in Nakuru and see how cool kids loved it. At first I thought mungiki operatives were undergoing some Ichaweri oathing ceremony. Congratulations CS Dr. Mailu.

@ivanjamba At least we're leaving shisha in 2017. That's progress.

@kmtetezi Good riddance! I once upon a time found a female Kenya MP in a Malindi Hotel smoking & choking under clouds of shisha! That is how far this thing has gone.

@bonifacemwangi 'There is no escape': Nairobi's air pollution sparks Africa health warning https://t.co/UIMz9BKAXa Nairobi is one of the most polluted cities in the world and Shisha isn’t to blame. I don’t smoke but I believe CS health is overstepping his mandate. Focus on the REAL pollutants!
