Curtains Fear For Tobacco Store
Filed Under Country Curtain | Posted on December 9, 2008
New laws banning tobacco displays in England and Wales were announced by the government on Tuesday.
Martin McGahey, 52, said there was not enough space under the counter at his shop in Exeter, Devon for his 2,000 tobacco products.
Mr McGahey’s traditional shop has been at the same site since 1880.
Ministers hope the display ban, included in the Health Bill, will reduce smoking.
But Mr McGahey said: “We already have pictorial warnings on packets showing diseased body parts so I cannot understand how not seeing the products will change anything.”
