This year’s Grand Prize winner really captures the tobacco retail environment today – from the court-ordered tobacco corrective statement about the addictiveness of nicotine above the sprawling power wall display of tobacco products to the many price discounts advertised and the range of products for sale (cigarettes, smokeless, cigarillos, e-cigarettes, and modern oral nicotine products). It shows how tobacco companies are using convenience stores to lure in new customers and keep current ones hooked – by paying them to keep tobacco cheap and visible. We know that price discounts are the single largest marketing expenditure for tobacco companies, and that’s evident here.
