Barking up the wrong tree with cigarette vending machine

NTUC FairPrice’s cigarette vending machine is best described as barking up the wrong tree or even a subversive idea to beat the ban on tobacco display (“NTUC FairPrice trials cigarette vending machine for tobacco display ban”; March 17).

Our local businesses should be expected to understand and support the bigger picture of the health initiative, rather than find ways to undermine it for the sake of making a few more bucks.

Will FairPrice next be offering liquor home deliveries to circumvent the restriction on liquor sale hours?
