A major obstacle for future growth in this market is the move by the government to limit concessions for retail outlets able to sell tobacco from July 2013. The total number of outlets to be granted concessions is expected to be 7,000, a reduction of some 37,000 outlets. As a result of this new legislation, tobacco products will disappear from supermarkets, restaurants and petrol stations.
