Price Chopper Changing how They Sell and Advertise Tobacco

Posted:

Grocery chain Price Chopper is changing the way it advertises tobacco products.

For years, the State Department of Health has been raising awareness of tobacco ads and how they increase the chance of getting kids to smoke.

Now, Price Chopper is changing the way it displays and sells the products. Display cases now have fogged glass. The glass makes tobacco items and advertisements minimally visible.

In addition, colorful signs and price lists are being replaced with simple black-and-white ones.

Price Chopper hopes to have the new displays in all of its stores in the next coming months.
