Tobacco Companies Spend Billions of Dollars Each Year in Stores to: Promote and advertise tobacco products heavily Place products prominently Price products cheaply to appeal to current and potential users, including kids

Promote and Advertise Heavily Tobacco products are promoted in stores through advertisements and branded items, such as shelving units, counter mats and shopping baskets Ads are placed both inside and outside stores

Place Prominently Tobacco companies pay stores to display products, ads and other materials in prominent locations and shelving space. “Power walls” of products are often placed behind cash registers, stimulating impulse purchases Products or ads are often placed near candy or at kids’ eye level

Price Cheaply Stores are crammed with price strategies, including discounts paid to retailers, coupons and multi-pack discounts (e.g., buy two, get one free) Ads prominently announce discounts on particular brands Discounts entice price-sensitive kids

Tobacco Companies and Convenience Stores Partner to Fight Life-Saving Policies Due to their poor image, tobacco companies use stores as front groups to fight tobacco control policies, especially tobacco taxes Tobacco companies provide retailers with funds, information and other support for their anti-policy efforts

Voters’ pamphlets for a 2001 Washington state ballot initiative to increase the cigarette tax included a statement from opponents supposedly prepared by the Korean Grocers Association and the Washington Association of Neighborhood Stores. However, the author was revealed to be Brendan McCormick, Director of Media Relations for Philip Morris USA. Voters passed the tax increase overwhelmingly.

In Georgia, receipts for cigarettes at a Kroger grocery store carried messages against the 2010 cigarette tax increase proposal. The messages were “Paid for by Altria Client Services on behalf of Philip Morris USA.” Galloway, J, “An anti- tax ad with every pack of cigarettes,” The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Political Insider blog, March 16, 2010.

This two-sided flyer was provided by Philip Morris USA for Utah convenience stores to distribute in December 2008.

R.J. Reynolds placed flyers in Maryland convenience stores to oppose a 2011 tobacco tax increase proposal.

When Congress debated increasing the federal tobacco tax, this R.J. Reynolds flyer urged retailers to oppose the proposal. Downloaded from NoCigTax.com website July 24, 2007.
