Intro: Ireland will become the first country in the EU to remove all tobacco advertising from retail outlets tomorrow.
The changes mean that all tobacco products in shops are stored out of view, within a closed container or dispenser, only accessible by retail staff. A sign must be shown to advise that tobacco products are sold at the premises.
Retail staff may use a pictorial list to inform a customer aged over 18 who wishes to buy tobacco products as to the products that are available.
Self-service vending machines will be prohibited except in licensed premises and registered clubs.
All retailers of tobacco products must register with the Office of Tobacco Control.
