Do you think this is PC cone mad?!
I dont smoke but I think this is ridicules all cigarettes to be kept under the counter!.the question has to be asked what is next under-the-counter sausages and top-shelf sweets !? the butcher only open two hours per day and extended hours for fruit shopsWww@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Another idiotic idea from the Nanny State!. Why don't they do the same with alcohol, that causes more trouble than cigarettes ever will!. Drunk driving, domestic violence, yob behaviour in the streets, emergency personnel being abused and attacked, need I go on!. You are wrong, they will ban fruit next because it just may have pips or stones in it and somebody may choke on them lol!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
What does cigarettes have to do with sweets!?!?!?
They put cigarettes under the counter because even with all the smoking laws we have, underage kids still go in and try to buy cigarettes!. Before, kids would try to steal them!. By putting them under the counter or behind the counter, it helps to ensure that people are being properly id'ed before it is sold and it limits the amount of theft on them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

This is a touchy subject for me!.
I was introduced to smoking by my Mom who would ask me to light her cig for her if she was driving, I got used to them at a young age, and everyone in my family smoked!.
Of course I smoked, for 30 years, just quit last Christmas as a gift to my children and my grandchildren!.
The problem I am having is that I love to smoke, I miss it, I crave it, but I do good until I see a cigerette display or someone else smoking in person or even in a movie, then I start wanting one really badly!.
So for me it would be easier to just not ever have to see them again as the sight of them just makes me want one so much, I know that is my own problem and I just need to have more self control, but it sure does make my quitting go easier if I don't see them!!
But that could go for the sweets too!
I have a problem with self control me thinks!
I could really use a cig now that you mention it-but I wont!
I promised!Www@FoodAQ@Com

why not ban driving in the street as it causes far more death and injury than ciggies and all those noxious fumes we breathe from exhausts, car ought to be banned from being shown and sold under the counter, hospitals should be moved to secret locations so we can't find them and therefore avoid the risk of dying from superbugs, police stations should be closed down to prevent prisoners dying in the cells (over 500 in the last 10 years) or a better idea might be to put all these pc busy bodies and politicians into mrsa ridden hospitals and unsafe prison cells and let them rot!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answer to question:
I do not smoke either, but I know people who do!. Keeping the cigarettes under the counter where they won't be seen will not keep smokers from buying them and kids are still going to see adults smoking and be curious about it!. This is getting ridiculous!Www@FoodAQ@Com
