Anthony Albanese is confronted with a huge call to ban cigarettes from supermarkets in the final step to clamp on smoking.
Lung Foundation Australia, CEO Mark Brooke, calls on the government to bring in new legislation, because he noticed supermarkets ‘irresponsibly’ for selling cigarettes.
“We need everyone from the government to large companies to make the lung health of Australians for a profit of a product that kills 66 Australians every day,” he told News.com.au.
‘Earlier news items have emphasized Coles estimates that their sale of cigarettes is sufficient every year to kill more than 1,600 Australians and to cause tobacco -related medical costs of more than $ 300 million a year. ‘
It follows a new license schedule that is set to take effect New South Wales From July 1.
Aussies may not be able to do that anymore Buy cigarettes during their weekly supermarkets Throughout the country as limitations on increasing smoking.
The new scheme requires that all tobacco stores and wholesalers have a license to sell tobacco and non-tobacco smokers in the state.
In NSW, only pharmacies have a permit to sell each type of vapen properly, regardless of the nicotine content.

Former smoker Sarah Waters has also called on cigarettes to be banned from supermarkets.
She said that although it is not easy to stop, determining limitations to make it more difficult to buy cigarettes would make a ‘big difference’.

He said smokers who want to give up are hampered by how easily accessible cigarettes are.
Professor Marshall said that the difference between nicotine and heroin is: “You can’t buy heroin with your weekly shopping.”
