The National Coaliton Against Contraband Tobacco (NCACT) will reveal its study of cigarette butts collected at high schools and public areas in Cornwall for the second time.

The coalition added Cornwall, the port of entry for more than 90% of smuggled cigarettes in Canada, to its list of studied areas after starting the study in 2007.

The study found about 38% of the cigarettes collected were illegally brought into the country.

The RCMP has a detachment in Cornwall to deal almost exclusively with cigarette smuggling from U. S. factories located across the Seaway International Bridge in Hogansburg and near Massena, N. Y.

Coalition spokesman John Perenack couldn't divulge any information about the results of the 2009 study, but noted that last year's Cornwall results were among the highest in the study.

"It's not the scientific study, but it does give people an idea of how far too many teens are gaining access to these illegal cigarettes," Perenack said.

Gary Grant, a retired, 35-year veteran of the Toronto Police Service, will be presenting the survey results at the Ramada Inn during a press conference, then hosting a public meeting at 7 p. m.

Grant was largely responsible for starting Toronto CrimeStoppers.

RCMP Sgt. Michael Harvey will also be onhand for the presentation.

Other city stops on the tour include Windsor, London, Barrie, Oshawa, Aurora, Kitchener, Woodstock and Brantford. It starts on Wednesday in Ottawa.
