Cigarette display dismay as MPs back the ban

The government started the best and largest tobacco advertising display when they banned smoking in public places.  Now outside every office, Bar, Restaurant, Hospital etc you find people having a cigarette.  Imagine the scene....a warm summer evening, lots of people having fun outside of a bar....having a laugh.....having a smoke!!!  To a teenager it must look great......the display ban in retail outlets is minisule compared.

The madness stops at last. You walk into any store that sells tobacco - be it a convenience store or a major retailer - and you are faced with at least a 3 metre wide advertising monolith. If you stop the advertising you reduce the desire to to smoke. Be clear, smoking kills and thinking this through logically - smoking will eventually be banned. James Lowman is walking up hill in rollerskates - he really is fighting against a very strong tide.

If the Government are that against smoking because of the damage it does why don't they just ban it. Problem solved.

Funny how illegal drugs are not on display and never have been yet these are readily available and indeed rife in society.
The Government needs to get it's eyes on the ball and address the real issues (employment, debt, immigration, crime, education, etc) that impact on all of us rather than just shifting focus away from their short-comings.
Where are these "young kids" going to get a good education from, be safe in society, get future employment from, etc, in a country that is falling apart and sinking fast.
If my house was on fire I wouldn't worry about if I'd put the bin out and if the kitchen floor had been mopped, I'd prioritise, and GET OUT.

Good news.  Time to stop the obvious display of a product that causes such misery in families due to the loss of life and illness.  Young kids now will grow up not seeing cigarettes and this will help them make healthy choices in the future.
