Reference to minors buying cigarettes at Sainsbury's and Woolworths. That's Life sent a (10?) year old to two Sainsbury's branches: Putney where he was turned away immediately; Wimbledon where he was sold cigarettes 'for his mum'. Statement by Sainsbury's: anger that the programme had used a child in this way, but accepting full responsibility. This video has not been digitized so the contents of it have not been confirmed.
