TOBACCO: THERE'S STILL AN OPPORTUNITY
The ban on smoking doesn't mean licensees have to stop selling
tobacco products
Smoking might be banned but there's nothing illegal, subject to
multiple restrictions, about pubs selling tobacco - and making a
profit from what has always been an important sideline for the
trade.Licensees might worry, though, about whether there is
still a strong market for cigarettes, cigars and rolling
tobaccos among their customers.
Imperial Tobacco's latest report, released this week, estimates
that smoking in Scotland after the first full year of the
smoking ban was three to four per cent down, with more recent
data suggesting a two per cent decline in consumption.
