Step into a coffee shop or a supermarket on Friday, and chances are you wouldn't be able to buy cigarettes.

Major supermarket chains like Cold Storage, Giant, Sheng Siong and NTUC Fairprice and some 145 retailers will suspend tobacco sales as part of World No Tobacco Day.

Retailers that voluntarily support the movement will display posters to cover up their tobacco display.

Customers will receive Blue Ribbon Magnetic Bookmarks instead of cigarettes.

The initiative is aimed at highlighting the negative health effects of smoking.

The Ministry of Health is looking at the possibility of banning point-of-sale display of tobacco products in stores. This means that retailers may not be able to openly display cigarettes for sale. Customers will have to ask for tobacco products.

Views from the public will be sought on this initiative.
