An anti-smoking DVD will be launched by a young people's group.

The East Sussex Youth Cabinet film will target 11 to 16-year-olds, giving them information about tobacco and advice on quitting.

Youth cabinets are elected and staffed by 11 to 18-year-olds, aiming to advise local councils about issues which concern young people.

The new DVD will be sent to schools along with a questionnaire seeking views on existing smoking services.

James Davies, an East Sussex Youth Cabinet member, said: "We hope this DVD will help educate young people about the effects of smoking."
