Tobacco products from under the counter
Retailers could be forced to take cigarettes off display, under government plans to crack-down on smoking in UK.
Shopkeepers could be made to sell
tobacco products from under the counter – one of a string of measures
being considered by misters to curb the take-up of smoking among
young people. The proposals also include a ban on cigarette vending
machines in pubs and restaurants open to under 18-year-olds, and
measures that make it easier to sell nicotine replacement gums and
patches. The proposals, the subject of a public consulation to be
launched in May, are the next stage in the government's strategy to
reduce the number of Britons who smoke.
