Fake cigarettes warning

THE dangers of smoking 'dodgy' cigarettes will be highlighted at a roadshow.
North Staffordshire PCT will be staging the event at the Midsummer Mayhem fun day at Lyme Valley Park, Newcastle, on Sunday.
As well as providing advice for those wishing to stop smoking, health experts will also show smokers the variety of unusual substances they may be inhaling if they buy dodgy cigarettes.
The event is the latest part of a hard-hitting poster and radio advertising campaign from the Department of Health and HM Revenue & Customs.
Paul Hooper, regional tobacco policy manager for the West Midlands, said: "Buying cheap cigarettes from a man down the pub or from someone returning from their holidays may seem like a great deal.
"However, they are often made in unhygienic conditions and can contain ingredients like insects."
