A ban on cigarette vending machines is being considered by the government in a package of dramatic anti-smoking measures, the health secretary, Alan Johnson, said today. Cigarettes could be removed from public display and packs of 10 outlawed under measures being unveiled for consultation this week. Johnson backed a decision in Scotland to force cigarettes under the counter. "I think they are right to do that and indeed we are considering that as well. We will launch a consultation document on that next week," he told BBC1's Andrew Marr Show.
