Large Cigarette factory in Northern Ireland closes.

[Franco N.i]

Although the job losses are pretty bad the danger to a persons health in using analog cigarettes is worse. Lets hope some day soon the government over here invest in a e-cig factory.

The factory which was making tobacco products for 150 years will finally close in 2017 and it blames it on cigarette branding or the Warning tags printed on the packs.

That's just devastating for those workers and the local economy. I sincerely hope they will be able to lure another, better business to move in and take their place.

Hopefully another company will open a factory there. As a former factory worker whose has been laid off due to closure, I can understand just how much it can hurt. While it is a good thing that less tobacco is produced, the overall picture doesn't look that beautiful.
