Call to stub out supermarket tobacco

THE report’s recommendations include:

■Tobacco should not be sold in supermarkets or online south of the Border.

■Smokers should be encouraged to quit every time they see a doctor.

■Individual cigarettes should have health warnings printed on them and their colour potentially changed to make them look less appealing.

■Smoking may be banned outside cafes, restaurants and pubs in England.

■It should also be banished ‘in all outdoor areas where children are present’ – for example, beaches.

■Duty-free cigarette sales should end.

■Up to 70 per cent of new council tenancy agreements should prevent people smoking in their homes.
