Oklahoma embarks on an anti-smurfing campaign. Smurfing is the criminal practice of buying cold or allergy medicines containing pseudoephedrine to knowingly or unknowingly sell them to meth cooks. The anti-smurfing initiative is kicked off in Tulsa with State Senator Rick Brinkley, author of a law limiting pseudoephedrine sales. He wants people to know smurfing is a serious criminal offense.
The campaign will inform consumers about smurfing through signs and handouts displayed at pharmacies throughout the state.
