Residents from Nairobi's Eastleigh have differed over the Ministry of Health ban on shisha smoking in the country. On July 27, 2018, the court upheld the ban on the sale and use of shisha but gave the ministry nine months to follow the right procedure. “Shisha and cigarettes are all tobacco products hence the ban should be effected without discrimination. They are now calling on the ministry to ban all tobacco products and not just shisha alone. But Sheikh Ismael Hajji Ahmed Komor said the sale and use of shisha will not be tolerated in Kamukunji.
