Health Bill [HL]

Can I take the comments of the noble Lord, Lord Stoddart, a little further? It is controllable in a corner shop, but not in a supermarket. In my local Tesco, the cigarette counter is near the door, where people constantly go in and out with their children, and just beyond it is where the newspapers are laid out. People do their shopping, pay at the tills and then come to the cigarette counter. But it is also the counter for exchanging and returning goods. On a practical level, I cannot see how this is going to work. My noble friend Lord Howe said that you would have to have curtains, but you would be for ever pulling the curtains back and forth in case a child came to the counter. My supermarket is very busy, so in practical terms I cannot see how this would work.
