What is the immediate impact of the government's request for Sainsbury's and Morrisons to stop advertising heated tobacco products?

The UK government has formally requested that Sainsbury's and Morrisons cease advertising heated tobacco products, citing violation of the 2002 Tobacco Advertising and Promotion Act. Both supermarkets maintain the ads' legality, despite evidence of in-store promotions visible to children. The government asserts the law covers heated tobacco, while the supermarkets and Philip Morris International (PMI) contest this interpretation.
