So in a store like Co-op should they not be allowed to sell junk food either? That stuff is bad for you, too much salt too and yet they are allowed with pharmacy there. The only reason they have both is for convenience to the customer not some evil tobacco plan to subliminally suggest that hey if is sold at a pharmacy it must be safe for me.

Selling cigarettes where candy and snacks are sold makes cigarettes seem normal to young people.

if you had read beyond my first sentence you would see I agree with the covering up of smokes but that they took it way too far, if someone wants to see what products they have they should be allowed to show them.
