I jest not. A friend asked the price of a pack of cigarettes in a supermarket the other day and the girl behind the counter said " I'm sorry I am not allowed to tell you the price of cigarettes" and handed her a card with the prices on it!
I have always detested the habit of smoking but I will defend anyones right to choose!
What next,,where will the madness end?

I think the world is going mad. I would have thought boldly displaying the prices would be enough to put anyone off smoking. When my brother in law told me how much a packet of the cigarettes he was smoking were I thought I could go and get a pub lunch and a drink for that!
Yes, I witnessed this myself in a Supermarket. The lady in question handed a piece of paper (a price list) to the customer. I thought it was somewhat dotty! As rosewine says, the price alone is enough to put anyone off from smoking?
I no longer work on the tills as complications of FM,lupus etc make it diificult but I know we have to refill cigs when there arnt any customers around to see display shelves. and delivery of new stock now arrive in a sealed black bag. we also cant open cig doors if a child is at the counter with his/her parent x
My son was asked for Id when I went to purchase some beer for grandad. My son is 21 and had to give them his driving license or I couldn't purchase it incase the alcohol was for him and he was under age.
