A ban on the display of tobacco products in retail stores across Ireland enters force today and will also have a major impact on travellers transiting through Irish Airports.
Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) will face the removal of all products from public display, with no advertising or branding allowed at Dublin, Cork and Shannon airports.
The government has given a commitment to permit the DAA and other travel retailers to display a pictorial list of tobacco products in their stores but the necessary legislation has yet to be passed.
The exemption to the Public Health Tobacco Act will apply to several key aspects of the new rules and will allow travel retailers to display a pictorial list of products up until 2013.
