Alice Achieng Obare, a farmer in Migori village in southwestern Kenya, felt liberated after her village gradually abandoned tobacco farming and switched to bean farming. In a touching story shared on the World Health Organization (WHO) website, Obare recounted the days when the whole village was filled with smoke from the tobacco processing process, and the moments when she trembled while holding a film that showed her chest filled with smoke, even though she herself did not smoke. Each tobacco crop season lasts from October to August, and children, instead of going to school, have to go to the tobacco fields.
