Intro: Niagara Region Public Health (NRPH) encourages residents to Take a Stand Against Contraband Tobacco. Niagara Region Public Health wants the public to know that cheap cigarettes are illegal, unregulated, and deadly. Research has found traces of insect eggs, mould and human feces in contraband tobacco, as well as the same 4000 chemicals found in regulated cigarettes.
Starting on September 28, 2009 and continuing through October, a number of promotional activities such as posters, information on the Niagara Region website, billboard advertising and a post card campaign, will occur to raise awareness about the dangers of tobacco and the contraband issue. . . .

* Providing an opportunity for the public to advocate against contraband tobacco
