Nearly half of Scots think the Scottish Parliament should urge cigarette smokers to smoke vapes instead, a poll has suggested, after a consultation called on advertising rules to be tightened.
According to the new survey for the Scottish Grocers' Federation, 45% said they tended to agree or strongly agree that the Government should encourage tobacco smokers to switch to e-cigarettes.
Some 23% indicated they did not agree, 23% said they held no opinion either way, and 9% said they did not know.
The poll, by the Diffley Partnership, asked more than 2,000 people for their views on smoking and vaping.
