"Ending tobacco displays in shops will protect young people from unsolicited promotions, helping them to resist the temptation to start smoking.
It will also help and support adults who are trying to quit."
What a load of utter twaddle; IF the UK Government had any real desire to cut deaths caused by tobacco, they would BAN it immediately.
Of course they don't want to cut off the highly lucrative tax revenue that comes from said tobacco sales......
....like three times the cost to the NHS of treating smoking related illness.
I reckon I'm pretty qualified to pontificate on this matter, as up until less than three years ago, I was a 60 a day smoker & one MAJOR factor in stopping was telling myself "no more tax & duty for those hypocritical bastards".
There IS a damn' good reason to stop smoking, or better yet, never starting: Because it WILL kill you & the Government WILL make an obscene amount of money from colluding in your painful death.
