Full Ban On Flavoured Tobacco Products Sought

A coalition of Ontario health agencies are calling for a complete ban on flavoured tobacco products.

New data shows 57-thousand young people in the province admit to using them despite legislation banning certain products.

Director of Ontario Campaign for Action on Tobacco Michael Perley says the number is concerning.

Perley says companies have found loopholes in current legislation allowing their products to stay on the market and only a complete ban will lower the number of young users.
