Town ends bid to ban tobacco sales after outcry

An American town who were bidding to become the first in the country to ban tobacco sales have dropped the plan after widespread public outcry.

A vote on the plan had been due to take place last week, but a rowdy opposition made up of local people and businesses meant the public meeting had to be ended early.
