United Video Masterton will no longer sell cigarettes - a decision made in a bid to discourage smoking.
Manager Tania Franklin-Hema said the store moved the cigarette display shelf out of sight in a move to discourage people buying cigarettes, and are now going to shut it completely.
"Once those last packets are gone, we won't be supporting it anymore.
"It'll be one less store that has it on display."
Associate Health minister Tariana Turia proposed new legislation earlier this week which would see tobacco sold in plain packaging with health messages rather than brands.
