Shoppers will be warned about the dangers of illegal tobacco and encouraged to report the issue, when a campaign roadshow rolls into Swindon town centre on Friday, 4th July. Illegal tobacco is known to make it easier for children to start smoking because it is sold at pocket money prices, meaning that young people could fall prey to the lethal habit which claims the life of every 1 in 2 smokers. Illegal tobacco is also known to make communities more attractive to criminals.
