The tobacco industry has cautiously welcomed the announcement that cigarettes can be sold from Tuesday, but the ban on trade for five months has left it reeling.

Another legal challenge has been around the prohibition of liquor in eateries which government says will be allowed under level 2 with strict conditions.“It’s time to pop that champagne and to celebrate your strength and remarkable power,” the Restaurant Association of SA said to its members in reaction to the announcement.

“We will be inspired to rebuild our lives on the strong foundations that did not crumble under the uncertainty we have faced. We are the heartbeat and magic of every street, of every road, of every town, every city — let’s turn the lights back on and bring the music back and bring smiles and celebrations back into the lives of our guests doing what we love, serving beautiful food ...," said RASA.

“We fully understand that the situation requires vigilance and adherence to Covid-19 safety protocols, and we want to reassure our partners in government that we remain committed to supporting the national effort to curb the spread of this virus.” The company, along with the rest of the alcohol industry, has come together to affirm its commitment to partnering with the government to create a social compact for driving positive behavioural change regarding the use and consumption of alcohol, she said.
