Sign the BHF's petition to help the future heart health of our children by ending the sale of cigarettes through vending machines! Your help needed for important campaign now!

Here's a way to help a charity and the future heart health of children and all that's involved is signing a petition!

More than 1 in 6 children and teens who regularly smoke usually get their cigarettes from vending machines.

66% of adult smokers started when they were under age. Young people who smoke are at serious risk of developing life-shortening conditions.

The British Heart Foundation is campaigning to end the sale of cigarettes through vending machines. Please sign our petition and protect the future heart health of our children.

To find out more about the campaign and sign the petition visit bhf.org.uk/signup

If you have any problems with the webpages or would like any further information about our campaigns please email campaigns@bhf.org.uk

I've only ever seen fag vending machines in pubs - do they have them in other places?

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]
For an angry face,  , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,  , type [blush]
For a sad face,  , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,  , type [envy]
For a sceptical face,  , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
