“If this misguided legislation is implemented it will simply fuel the growth in the illicit trade of tobacco and create a huge cost burden for retailers who are already under considerable pressure as a result of the difficult economic climate,” said Chief Executive Gareth Davis (IT) in a statement.

The Health Act 2009 requires cigarettes, cigars, pipe and roll-your own tobacco products to be hidden from view in England, Wales and Northern Ireland from October 2011 in large retailers and from October 2013 in smaller outlets.

Reynolds said he proudly bought Niconovum “to provide adult tobacco consumers with innovative cessation products that have the potential to reduce the risks of diseases and death caused by tobacco use”.
What he forgot to say it’s the total inefficiency of nicotine gum or patch to help quit smoking for the majority of smokers, and the prohibitive price!
For all smokers who want quit, reduce or find alternative to tobacco the only working product so far is call an electronic cigarette or e-cigarette (And by the way Ruyan is actively looking for a partner…).
