Northwestern Ontario may have higher cigarette smoking levels than the rest of the country, but fewer businesses are selling to under-aged youth.
A Northwestern Health Unit report found 97 per cent of area businesses selling cigarettes are abiding by provincial regulations. That's a 3 per cent improvement over two years ago and well above the national and provincial averages.
The Health Unit adds fewer businesses are actually selling cigarettes these days as well.
