The Vintner's Federation of Ireland said removing the machines from pubs would have a negative effect on people living in rural areas.

Image: Shutterstock/Nopphon_1987 Image: Shutterstock/Nopphon_1987 THE VINTNER’S FEDERATION of Ireland has raised concerns that rural communities will be worst affected by a ban on the sale of cigarettes from vending machines – many of which are located in pubs.

“Principally, there is a concern around local communities, rural communities, that wouldn’t have access to many shops and might use pubs to buy cigarettes,” a spokesperson said. “I am determined to continue to make the necessary legislative changes to confront this challenge and help reach our goal of being tobacco free.”

It could a Monthy Python Joke? 😂

In Canada all cigarettes are in a covered cabinet behind the shop counter. Customers have to ask for them. Children cannot buy them.

I had to double-check to be sure this wasn’t a WhispersNewsLTD headline.

The Vinters love rural Ireland god bless them.

Smoking kills and causes morbidity whether you are living in an urban or rural location.
