I know the current government is quite keen to control every aspect of our lives but some of the specific regulations being proposed in the Tobacco Advertising and Promotion 2010 Act (pdf) read like a Daily Mash piss take :

Price lists
6.—(1) The requirements are— (a) that the display of prices of tobacco products is in the form of a price list; and (b) that the price list— (i) has the title “Tobacco products price list”, (ii) does not include the prices of any other products, (iii) is worded with characters which are no higher than 7 millimetres, (iv) has no border or frame, (v) does not exceed 630 square centimetres in size; and (vi) is limited in number in accordance with paragraph (2). (2) The price list shall be limited in number to— (a) one price list for each separate area where tobacco products are both located and can be paid for, or (b) where there is more than one till at any such location, one price list for each such till.

And if you thought that was over prescribed madness, it goes further :

Price lists: available only on request
7.—(1) The requirements are— (a) that the display of prices of tobacco products is in the form of a price list which is made available to an individual aged 18 or over following a particular request by the individual for information about tobacco products for sale in the place where such request takes place; (b) that all reasonable steps are taken to ensure that the individual making such a request is aged 18 or over before such a display takes place; (c) that the display lasts for no longer than is needed for the individual to obtain the information sought by that individual; (d) that the size of the wording on the price list shall be such that no character is greater than 4 millimetres high; (e) that the only other feature displayed is a picture of the actual tobacco product, as packaged for sale, where the size of such picture does not exceed 50 square centimetres; and (f) that the price list shall be limited in number to— (i) one price list for each separate area where tobacco products are both located and can be paid for.

Yes, you read that correctly – you will have to prove that you are over 18 just to see the fucking price list!

Fuck me pink!
