Cig vending

[Snackmore]

I was doing my round last night and one of my pubs told me that their cigarette vending machine was being removed by 1st October and they are not replacing it with anything. I thought the ban had been extended? This doesn't concern me as I do not do cigarette vending but it may cause others concern. Any ideas?

Does this ,mean they are packing in the Pringles as as well?

There could be quite a few machines for sale and sites.

one of my chaps whom has nearly 600 of these machines has come up with a way to kind of get over this situation. that is to sell it behind the bar until the ban comes in where they cannot advertise on behind shelves.

He says its working well at the moment. But can only take advantage of this for so long!!!

couple of my sites have said that they dont want to get into that and have refused to put them behind the bar

You'd think they would retask the machines insitu to vend alternative products.

Just wondering if anyone else was thinking that a seaga pringles machine would fit lovely where the fag machine used too be?
