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

“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.

The Vinters love rural Ireland god bless them.

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