Obstacle for tobacco legislation

Obstacle For Tobacco Legislation


Labour MP Iain Lees-Galloway has drafted legislation that would make it illegal for retailers to display tobacco products prominently is stores.
But the Attorney General's report on his Bill has found it is inconsistent with freedoms and rights affirmed in the Bill of Rights as it limits freedom of expression.

I'm sure they'll find a way around all that.

Why let a silly thing like  personal freedoms stand in your way?

After all tramping on everyone's rights seems to be the thing to do when we can "protect the children".
