Scottish Government Announces Plan To Ban Cigarette Displays from 2009/10

Despite tobacco advertising having been banned in 2002, there are growing concerns that prominent displays of cigarettes and other tobacco products in shops and other points of sale.

It is two years since Scotland led
the UK in banning smoking in public places, and six months since the
legal age for buying cigarettes was raised to 18. The Scottish
National Party administration is also proposing a ban on the sale of
cigarettes in packets of 10.
