PDHU urging people to stop buying cigarettes for underage loved ones

The Perth District Health Unit is urging people to stop giving cigarettes to underage smokers.

The message is part of a province-wide “Bad Ways to Be Nice” campaign.

According to a recent survey, 72% of Canadian youth say their main source of cigarettes is family or friends.

The PDHU says this kind of enabling just perpetuates addiction, disease and even death.
