The groups say since its inception, Big Brother Naija has been notorious for promoting smoking among housemates.

They also referenced the World Health Organisation Framework Convention on Tobacco Control that Nigeria has signed and ratified. The framework requires parties to implement a comprehensive ban on Tobacco Advertising, Promotion, and Sponsorship .

While noting that the BBNaija reality show is one of the biggest shows on the Nigerian screen watched by millions of youth, they stressed that since its inception, it has been notorious for promoting smoking among housemates. They urged the NBC to therefore invoke the NTC-Act 2015 and the NTC Regulations 2019 and totally prohibit smoking in the BBN Season 6, pointing out that at this point in a global pandemic, no effort should be spared to protect the health of the citizenry.The Season 6 edition of the BBNaija reality show is expected to air soon following the conclusion of the reunion show.

Is BBnaija house tobacco company? Is NBC going to prohibit smoking in movies. All they smoke is cigarettes and not weeds.

The group can as well stop watching big brother. Rubbish

I had watched BBA and BBN all my life, I still am not a smoker. the group should rather ask NBC to prevail on lifting ban on twitter
