Covid-19 cigarette sales: Tobacco association is taking govt to courtThe Fair Trade Independent Tobacco Association (FITA) is taking the government to court over its decision to ban the sale of cigarettes during the level 4 Covid-19 lockdown. SAB guys come on, we will drink from home. Obviously the government does not consult scientific data - obesity is a huge comorbidity factor in Covid19 yet the sale of sugared drinks like coke , chips chocolates etc are not banned ?!!! So they can’t say that they are banning cigarette sales due to health reasons I think I've seen these for the past two weeks
