The World Health Organisation¹ (WHO) has attacked tobacco companies over their marketing² practices, saying they are particularly targeting young people in Asia.

In a campaign entitled "Tobacco Kills - Don't Be Duped" for World No Tobacco Day on Wednesday, the organisation criticised the sponsorship, and advertising³ of tobacco in films, music and sports.

"We want to highlight the dubious⁴, deceptive⁵ practices of the industry," said Derek Yach, project manager of the WHO's Tobacco Free Initiative.

South East Asia now has the world's second highest growth rate of smokers⁶ after the Middle East, Mr Yach said.

世界卫生组织(WTO)指责烟草公司的市场运作，说它们特意将亚洲青年人作为作为销售对象。

在周三世界无烟日，世界卫生组织发起了一场名为“吸烟害命，不要被骗”的活动，谴责烟草公司在电影、音乐和体育中作赞助和广告。

世界卫生组织的“无烟发起者组织”的项目负责人戴莱克-亚科说，“我们想引起人们对这一行业不明朗的、欺骗性的操作的注意。”

戴莱克-亚科说，现在东南亚是仅次于中东的世界上烟民增长速度最快的地区
