UKIP leader Nigel Farage MEP has warned the government it will have to set up an emergency medical fund to help shopkeepers who have to keep bending down under the counter to sell cigarettes to the public.
Mr Farage pointed out that shopkeepers already have to stretch to put sex magazines on the top shelves and in future they will have to bend down hundreds of times a day in order to sell cigarettes now that the government has banned them from being on display.
He described the government as ghastly puritans dedicated to turning Britain into a nanny state.
"They say the ban is to stop children between 11 and 15 from smoking," said Mr Farage. "But you have to be older than that to buy cigarettes in a shop anyway.
"This is another case of the government treating adults as if they were children."
