cigarettes on display
I noticed in my local tesco last night, that the cigarette kiosk now has their cigarettes hidden behind doors. My local corner shop still has theirs on display. I had heard that there was new legislation coming in about cigarettes been on open display but has it already started or are tesco starting early?

I agree with your statement flip flop. hiding something that is legal.
I AM a smoker. I say ban them outright or leave it be. we know cigs are bad for your health. so is rock climbing, co2 from transportation, alchohol, so on and so on. just another stupid law that is costing shop owners money that will ultimately be passed onto the purchaser.

The problem with cigarettes is they affect other peoples health not just the smoker. Anyone around a smoker has to inhale their smoke. In that respect it is worse than Heroin , a druggie could stand right beside me and pump him self full of heroin and it would not affect me, but it would if he smoked.
I smoke, however I am a law-abiding citizen and if it was illegal to smoke I wouldn't do so. Until it is made illegal would holier than thou, do-gooder non-smokers please refrain from spouting off about smoking. If it offends you so much why not campaign to have it made illegal rather than just pontificating about it.
So how do you go about buying them then? Is it a question of asking at the check-out or is there someone peering at you from behind the shuttering? Very strange, glad I don't smoke, it sounds like a chore just to buy them. Wait a minute, perhaps that's it - they hope by making it difficult you will stop buying them.
karenmac 60, I know many people who smoke in their own homes even if they have children , I see 'school run Mums' smoking in their cars as they take the kids to school every morning. Go to a pub and a crowd of smokers are standing at the door , you have to hold your breath as you walk in or get a lungfull.
By the way all cars now have catalytic converters there is no Carbon Monoxide in exhaust fumes now ( as some who have tried to commit suicide that way know) there is plenty in second hand cigarette smoke.

The next stage of the anti smoking law is that all cigarette packs are going to be the same , a plain grey packet with an anti smoking message in large letters and the name of the manufacturer in very small print at the bottom.
This starts in 2 years time (I think) the idea is to destroy brand identity.

I don't mind anyone smoking, as long as I don't have to do it as well by passively smoking. After all, if everyone stopped the Government would have to get the money they will lose some other way and it would probably be by increasing Income Tax, or increasing the tax on petrol, or VAT. So keep smoking but don't send the smoke my way please.
