If Government will ban tobacco displays in stores then their profits will decreased, said storekeepers.

Cigarette advertising has been banned for 20 years, except inside stores. But health authorities reported that this new law will cut youth smoking and lower the smoking death.

Dalton Kelly, Cancer Society chief executive, said that children walking into the country's 10,000 retail stores were confronted by "a power-wall of tobacco advertising".

Smoking cigarettes can only kill but not to save people’s life. For example about 5000 people die in New Zealand each year as a result of smoking and that means tobacco companies have to find 5000 new customers each year just to hold their ground.

pResearchers found that tobacco displays could "create a false impression of the safety, social acceptability, and prevalence of tobacco use". Jo Goodhew, the Member of Parliament (MPs), on the committee had voted against the ban because they think that "more robust international evidence" was needed. She has found that smoking rates had already dropped from 23.4 percent in 2002-03 to 18.87 percent in 2006-07 without any ban.

Unlike Parliament British American Tobacco - which sells three-quarters of cigarettes in New Zealand - said it "supported the views of many retailers who say a ban on the retail display of tobacco products will have a significant impact on the viability of their businesses".

British American Tobacco thinks so because it knows that tobacco is not a regular product.
