Reporting tobacco cover-up requirements in the UK

The Times has a story today, Crisis at the corner shop as newsagents rush to hide cigarettes, which reports on the challenges faced by UK tobacco retailers, especially newsagents, to meet the demands of UK legislation requiring placing tobacco products behind doors.

I don’t like their use of the word crisis in the headline. I am sure there are sone UK newsagents who planned for this from when the legislation was introduced over two years ago. So for them, this is not a crisis. It is unfortunate The Times prefers to run with a negative rather than a positive when reporting on newsagents.
