Cigarettes To Be Sold Under The Counter


Shopkeepers could be forced to sell cigarettes under the counter and vending machines in pubs could soon be banned if new Government proposals get the go-ahead.

The plans are all part of a Department of Health attempt to cut the number of smokers and put children off taking up the habit.

In return, it will be made easier to sell nicotine replacement gums and patches.


The proposals follow on from the introduction of the smoking ban in public places last July.


Discuss!

Brilliant idea, what's the problem. The only two drugs openly on sale in his country outside a pharmacy are nicotine and alcohol. Bung booze under there as well I am happy to ask for what I want.

I agree I think. Out of sight out of mind, maybe.

So the likes of Sainsburys, Tescos, are going to have to erect effin great counters to put said booze under, as opposed to the booze isle.

Well, I know what I want so I just ask. Easy to please me.

Spoke to my local Turkish off license owner recently, and he said he could not give a toss if it became law. He said that anyway, I have been doing it for years and it would make it easier for me to sell my dodgy ciggies so bring it on.
I had to laugh.
