Call for youth workers to join anti-smoking battle

EVERY year 15,000 young people in Scotland start smoking, and youth workers will be urged this week to take a leading role in tackling the problem.

A conference in Edinburgh on Thursday will challenge those employed in youth work to do more to stop young people taking up the habit and more to help existing smokers to quit.
