BBC Radio Scotland - Morning Extra, Should tobacco vending machines be banned?

Are plans to outlaw vending machines an invasion of smokers' civil liberties?

Are plans to outlaw vending machines an invasion of smokers' civil liberties? Graham Stewart takes your calls.

The Scottish Government is to crack down on the use of cigarette vending machines by youngsters. Legislation to be introduced next year will include further controls on the sale of tobacco from the machines to restrict access by under-18s. The pledge was made by Shona Robison, the public health minister, in a letter to SNP MSP Kenneth Gibson, who has put forward a motion calling for an outright ban on tobacco vending machines.

Plus, following Graham's complaints about his cold yesterday, we hear your remedy suggestions!
