THE Scottish Tobacco Control Alliance is set to host Scotland's first
conference on tobacco and cannabis today.

The summit, which will call for a new approach in dealing with both
substances, will take place at the Royal Society of Edinburgh, 22-26 George
Street, at 9.30am.

Maureen Moore, chief executive of ASH - Action on Smoking and Health -
(Scotland) wants a more thorough understanding of how tobacco and cannabis
are used together and is keen on better training and awareness for smoking
cessation and drug action workers.

Ms Moore said: "The use of cannabis and tobacco together is an issue in
Scotland, especially for young people.

"There is evidence that young people are using tobacco and cannabis
together and that they are unaware of the specific health risks this entails."
