Hiding cigarettes - Not working

In an attempt to be perceived as taking some sort of action, the state governments have thought of a hair brained idea of hiding cigarettes behind roller shutters in order to dissuade the people from buying the cigarettes.

It is well known within many health and political circles, that cigarettes contain additive substances that are put into cigarettes by the manufacturer's in order to hook the smoker.

In the papers put forward, for this implementation of law that cigarettes must be out of sight, there has been no indication of the figure of reduction that cigarettes will be sold by.

The government takes in approximately $5 billion dollars annually from taxes obtain from the sales of cigarettes.

It is of no benefit to the government to see any reduction in sales of cigarettes, irrespective of the perception that it will be of benefit to the general populous.

The government must be seen as if it is taking action for the benefit of the population.

Figures have recently been obtained from a major supermarket brand, newsagents across the state and milk bars indicate the there has been no reduction in sales after the mandatory hiding of cigarettes.

This clearly shows another failure, that is kept away from the public eye.
