A NEW health initiative is aiming to look at why more and more young people are smoking shisha.

One Voice through the Baiter Sehat campaign will interview between 100 and 200 shisha users in the region about their attitudes to the habit.

This initiative will be one of the most comprehensive local studies into the subject to date.

One Voice, which is delivering the Baiter Sehat campaign in partnership with Blackburn with Darwen Council, will also host a far-reaching set of road show events engaging with users, potential users and parents.

The Council’s Stop Smoking Service, GPs, Lifeline and other agencies will be involved in delivering their messages to all ages, including providing advice on how to quit smoking.

The roadshow will take place throughout September and October.
