Teenage children working on tobacco farms in the United States face a difficult and dangerous job. And not enough is being done to protect them. That's the view of a new report from the campaign group Human Rights Watch. It says 16 and 17 year old tobacco labourers are being exposed to nicotine, toxic pesticides and extreme heat. And it's making them ill. 17-year-old Ana tells us about her experience working in tobacco fields in North Carolina.
