All shops selling tobacco must sign up to the new Scottish Tobacco Retailers Register by 2015. It's not going to be long until there is a zero tolerance to cigarettes being on display anywhere. Cigarette vending machines have also been banned.
The SNP hope that any glamour attached to each brands packaging will become defunct. Also by having cigarettes hidden away it's hoped through time the next generation of potential smokers will see a stigma attached to asking for products that are that bad they need to be hidden away. |
Same down south, all my supermarkets are behind closed doors.
