Two great examples here – one showing a common youth-friendly character placed near a tobacco display, which is at eye-level and within reach of youth. It even looks like a candy display! Isn’t the other ironic? This sign at a Circle K invites CVS customers to buy tobacco products at their store. We applaud CVS for the decision to stop selling tobacco products and wish more stores would do the same. Tsk, tsk, Circle K!
We asked our audience to submit photos of tobacco industry marketing at the point of sale, and were impressed by the breadth and creativity of the photos submitted. Beyond just the contest, we hope these photos will be used to continue POS advocacy work.
