Tobacco display ban extended to cover all shops

A ban on displaying tobacco products at the point of sale in small shops accross the UK has come into force.

The display of tobacco products has been illegal in large stores and supermarkets since 2012.
Now small stores, and other outlets such as pubs and clubs, will also have to keep cigarettes out of sight.
The ban has been welcomed by campaign group Action on Smoking and Health (Ash), but criticised by shopkeeper group the Tobacco Retailers' Alliance
