Shopkeepers have their say about tobacco display ban
A CONSULTATION giving shopkeepers their say about the ban on tobacco displays was launched yesterday.
The law banning tobacco displays and cigarette vending sales was approved by the Scottish Parliament three months ago.
It aims to stop children from starting to smoke and reduce the number of lung cancer deaths.
The three-month consultation gives retailers the chance to comment on how the restrictions will be implemented in stores.
Proposals include restricting the customer's view of tobacco products at the point of sale so that only one packet of cigarettes or pouch of tobacco is visible at that time.
It means retailers will be obliged to conceal their tobacco display, so that rows of cigarette packets are not visible.
The consultation runs until the end of July.
