Sainsbury's has announced that it will stop selling cigarettes at another six supermarkets in Scotland. At this stage, ten Sainsbury's stores north of the border now sell no tobacco. The move is in response to the Scottish government's policy of charging higher business rates on stores selling cigarettes and alcohol.

So will the ban spread, and will it make it down south?
