More details from petition creator

The current proposal would not meet Government objectives to prevent underage smoking and in addition would have detrimental effects such as: - it will seriously affect the livelihoods of independent retailers and force some out of business; - it will cause retailers substantial unnecessary expense to pay for shop redesigns; - it will allow unfair competitive advantage to supermarkets who can more easily absorb refits both logistically and financially; - it could cause small shops to lose customers to supermarkets where they expect to find a full range of tobacco products at lower prices (small shops need to be able to display available products and prices to compete with supermarkets); - it will cause longer serving times which will lead to lost footfall and sales of non-tobacco items with customers (including non-smokers) buying goods at bigger retail outlets; - it could result in increased health and safety risks for shopkeepers as they bend to retrieve product from under the counter; - it will increase the possibility of theft as retailers are distracted from viewing the shopfloor; - and it could facilitate, encourage and increase the trade in illegal products.
