The Scottish Government is set to introduce new anti-tobacco legislation.
The Tobacco and Primary Medical Services (Scotland) Bill is likely to mean the end of cigarette vending machines and tobacco displays in shops.
Other measures include the introduction of a registration scheme for retailers, tradings standards officers getting the power to issue fixed penalty notices for retailers who sell cigarettes to under 18s and banning orders to prevent retailers selling cigarettes if they continually break the law.
The measures are intended to reduce child smoking, and Public Health Minister Shona Robison said: "The health risks associated with smoking are both enormous and well documented. But stopping smoking is hard and the vast majority of smokers I've spoken to wish that they'd never started.
"So that's why the measures in this bill are aimed at stopping children starting to smoke in the first place - by making it less accessible and less attractive to them.
"Point of sale marketing is a powerful tool and I believe it's totally inappropriate for cigarettes to be promoted in this way. Similarly, I believe there is no place in a modern Scotland for cigarette vending machines - we wouldn't allow any other dangerous product to be sold in this way.
"Too many people have already watched loved ones suffer and die as a result of smoking-related illnesses. I'm determined that we must do all we can to protect future generations.
"That's why we're taking these radical steps - because someone who starts smoking at 15 is three times more likely to die of cancer than someone who starts in their mid-20s."
Smoking in public places in Scotland was banned on March 26, 2006 and on October 1, 2007, the minimum age for buying cigarettes was raised to 18.
A 2006 survey found 47% of 13 year olds and 82% of 15 year olds bought cigarettes from a shop, and one in ten smokers aged 13-15 bought cigarettes from vending machines, accounting for 36-40% of the sales from vending machines.
