RE HL, on the night of the rob- bery. All have since recov- ered from their injuries. Although the prelimi- nary trial was an open court, a publication ban was placed on all ewi- dence. Cigarette ads are harmful to youth, health dept. warns acco industry's promise of "self-regula- advertising is not comforting to Durham health officials. Durham Medical Officer of Health Dr. Robert Kyle says youth will be targets of advertising cam- paigns, despite industry claims to the contrary. "On average, young people first try smoking at age 13, and start smoking on a daily basis at 15," said Dr. Kyle. Tobacco companies can legally advertise this year as a result of court rulings in their favor. The federal government has promised to introduce tough legislation to limit the ads and promotions the companies can undertake, but in-the meantime they can put the message out. The companies have promised to design ads that won't target young people, explaining instead that the battle will be for market share among existing smokers. But that's not realistic, Dr. Kyle said in a recently-released statement. He said most experts acknowledge that brand switching accounts for just 10 per cent of smokers per year. "To stay in business, tobacco companies must replace smokers who have quit or died from their addiction," says the statement. "since few people start smoking after the age of 20, they must recruit new consumers from the 19 and under population. "Advertising restrictions are essential to com- prehensive programs to reduce consumption of tobacco products, especially among youth," said the health department statement. This week, Jan. 15 to 21, has been designated National Non- smoking Week. tomorrow, Jan. 17, is the annual "Weedless Wednesday", Boy hurt on snowmobile A ten-year-old boy was slightly injured in a snow- mobile accident on the weekend, according to Durham Regional Police.
