Plea to ban tobacco ads
AN anti-smoking charity based in Edinburgh has urged the Scottish Government to follow the example of the Irish and ban tobacco advertising in shops.
ASH Scotland's chief executive, Sheila Duffy, praised the Irish government's decision to prohibit display of cigarettes in shops, and run a register to which all retailers have to sign up to.
She said it would make a significant impact on youth smoking there. "Lethal and addictive products should not be promoted next to everyday products in shops across the country," she said.
