Doors hide tobacco displays

Doors hide tobacco displays

Electronic cigarettes which are designed to help people
quit smoking will also have to be removed from display.

 

[bacc.vap]

Bunch of nonsense, hide the cigs and the device that'll actually help people quit smoking, does'nt make sense.

 

[Petrodus]

Smokers know the "forbidden fruit" is hidden from view ...
Those thinking about e-smoking won't even know the store
has them for sale.

If it even reminds one of tobacco ... then the public should
not be permitted to see it.

Yea, that's the solution ... Idiots

How do you sell something that you "can't make reference to"?
You just ignore someone walking into your store, going to the smoke cabinet and then charge them $10 a pack for walking into the store?

This might be a case where the retail stores need to speak up, since they stand to lose a lot of revenue. If all the stores that sell these products banded together to get the law repealed they should be able to pull it off.

Suppose that we tried to control drinking alcohol in the same way. In many states, ABC (for Alcoholic Beverage Control) stores owned by the state itself are the only places that you can purchase whiskey and other "hard" liquors. Every single product in the entire store would need to be kept hidden. Gee, I love shopping by guess work, don't you?

I'll take Door #2.

The Nanny State will continue to Ban and place restrictions
until the public screams Enough is Enough.

Based on recent election polls ...
about 50% of Americans prefer a Nanny State.
So ... I doubt there ever will be a public out-cry.

Many years ago ... I read the book "1984" and smiled, thinking
to myself ... This is all just fiction and would never happen in America.

Little did you know he had some insider information and it seems to be getting used as an instruction manual even if it did throw their time frame off.

This has been the situation in Ireland for some time now, the only sign that cigarettes are available in a shop is the notice that under 18 will not be served alcohol or tobacco.
It's not a problem as smokers just ask for whatever they usually bought, (creatures of habit) and shops don't care as the margin on cigarettes was so low that displaying them just took up space to display higher margin products.
E-cig are not a tobacco produce here and are displayed on the counter openly, tho I'm told sales are low now, they expect an increase as the price hikes come next budget.

This became Law in New Zealand early this week. Electronic cigarettes are not openly on sale here and nicotine is banned from sale, but we are allowed to import for personal use. The New Zealand Government is planning to have the whole country smoke free in 13 years. Good luck to them I think we will just have a huge black market here if this continues. There was even talk of banning smoking anywhere on the streets that would allow a smoker to come into contact with another non-smoking person. It is already banned in all indoor areas, government buildings, hospitals and schools to name just a few. We currently have 18% of the population here that smoke.

Kroger and Walmart sell ecigs here...but no one would know it- they are well hidden under the counter. One would have to know about them and ask in order to buy them. Still, from talking to the cashier, ecig sales are booming!!

 

[VapApe]

If the antz there don't want to look at them. They could save time and money, by putting the heads up were they pulled this law from. Problem solved

Off-Topic of e-cigs and tobacco
but "On Topic" of the Nanny State wishing to hide products from view

Mayor Bloomberg is pushing hospitals to hide their baby formula
behind locked doors so more new mothers will breast-feed. LINK


Bloomberg has lost his ever lovin' Nanny State mind.
Why is there no movement to throw this idiot out of office ??

 

[Vocalek]

I can't wait to write and ask Dr. Bloomberg what feminine protection product he thinks women should use. Since he has an opinion on everything, I'm sure he knows what's best for us in this department as well.

Oh, that is just too funny !!

The sad thing is ... The idiot would probably think you are serious
and start thinking about banning feminine protections he doesn't approve.

A side note: Hope this idiot, in the future, doesn't decide to run for President.
By then ... Most Americans will be Nanny State lovers and he very well might win.
SCAREY Thought

SHHHHH!!!! You really don't want him going there do you?

HIDE the tampons, they can cause Toxic Shock Syndrome if women are too lazy to change them.

 

[Petrodus]

HIDE the tampons .....

Brings to mind a party that I was at many years ago.
The hostess had a very playful cat.

At one point the cat got into the cabinet under the bathroom sink
and strolled into the living room ... at first glance we thought it
was so funny seeing a cat smoking a white cigar.

The hostess was the only one not laughing !!

 

[Vocalek]

Some have commented that using the Nicotrol inhaler makes it look like you are smoking a tampon.
