Push for Police to Clamp Down on Kids Smoking

A coalition of health groups is calling on the province to do more to prevent kids from smoking contraband cigarettes.
The Ontario Campaign for Action on Tobacco says more than 60,000 young people who already smoke are puffing contraband cigarettes.
Director of the Campaign Michael Perley says contraband cigarettes are typically made by First Nations and are sold in clear plastic bags containing 200 cigarettes.
The coalition is calling for more police to clamp down on contraband smokes and for health warnings to be printed on all cigarettes.
