I stopped to buy cigarettes at Tesco in between sales calls today and this sight greeted me. I nervously asked the assistant if they had any Lucky Strikes and she had to look behind all of the doors until she found them. Maybe that part is deliberate? Making the process slower for customers will make them so annoyed that they want to stop smoking? To negate this wait multiplying over many shopping trips I bought loads instead.It's begun in the supermarkets but by 2015 ALL shops will have to do this. Remember children nanny state knows best when it comes to these things. It is for your own good after all and probably going to hurt them much more than it hurts you.

But, the still have the word itself, "Tobacco", showing. Isn't that going to force the children to take up the habit, just the sight of "that word"?
Certain mischievous individuals might ask for brands I - I mean he - knows they don't stock, or even for brands that don't exist, just to see how many times they'll open all the doors before they get pissed off.
It's going to be even more fun when they're all in plain packets with the brands in tiny writing.
Then this mischievous individual, having been unable to secure a pack of Tumours or Cardios or Super Phlegm, will simply leave and call in at Man with a Van, who doesn't have to hide his wares.
Malicious? Oh yes, definitely, but the antis love malice. I'm sure they'll enjoy it.
I certainly intend to.
WTF is this insanity? Is this for real or are you winding us up?
Me? Sadly JH it's for real.
The previous spammy comment has been removed (if that's what you were referring to?)
No, I was referring to Tescos - you were right.
Dear Mr Widdicombe
"You may be asked for proof of ID"
Proof of ID?
Do they not mean proof of age?
Or have Tescos let the cat out of the bag?
