We call such shops newsagents. They can be found on every housing estate and on smaller High Streets (large High Streets have chain stores that sell much more besides). Their business is primarily newspapers and magazines, but of course they supplement this with sweets (candy) ice cream, cold drinks and stationery. You will not find a shop, kiosk or hole-in-the-wall store that sells papers and not cigarettes - only street vendors.
