Bad news on tobacco displays from Scotland

[Drewmidorn]

I asked for a pack of villigers a while back they looked at me as if my head buttoned up at back!

To be honest they probably knew exactly what you were asking for.... And gave you the correct response.

ha ha very funny! its my guilty pleasure I enjoy them from time to time, they also have a pretty good premium range too with the 1888 Dominican , la libertad, bock, santa damiana and a few I cant remember/know about.

The whole scenario stinks....
Have we no longer got the right to freedom of choice!

[donkeydrop]

maybe they should just ban tobacco sales in supermarkets all together and give local retailers their living back!!! (although im as guilty as anyone for buying from supermarkets)

If they actually cared they would just ban tobacco, cos we know how effective that is with opium (formally legal I believe).

But as a country it generates too much money. So why pretend to care.

Personally I'd ban cigarettes cos they stink, but that goes against free choice

I wonder how far it could go... there's always a possibility down the line where British websites selling Cigars would all have to follow the same rules as in stores... no pictures, can't see the packaging etc.

Then alcohol, then fatty and sugary food.

its the nanny state!!! im a grown up and if I choose to smoke I will and if I want to smoke while eating a burger I will, give us some credit as human beings please ,what's next we all get a uniform delivered in the post in a parcel with no staples or anything sharp and a dvd will come with it telling us how to wear it, and the uniform is made of cotton wool! sorry I got carried away!!

In 1984 they were allowed to drink and smoke and the food didn't sound too healthy. Which means George Orwell didn't even see a nanny state as bad as ours is going.
