Featured Guide: Is your store ready for the tobacco display ban?
The law on the display of all products containing tobacco and the display of tobacco prices in England has changed.
From 6 April 2012, a new law will affect stores that are over 3000 sq ft selling tobacco products. All other shops and businesses selling tobacco products will be affected from 6 April 2015.
Our easy to follow guide is aimed at retailers and staff to help with compliance with the new regulations, and features downloadable booklets and posters for your store.
