I get the intent behind hiding tobacco products, especially for kids. But as an adult, walking into a store with no menu, no prices, and no visible options feels unnecessarily awkward.

You’re expected to already know exactly what you want. If you’re trying to switch to a lower nicotine or tar option, you don’t really have a way to compare or even know what’s available anymore.

As an adult, should you actually have the right to see what legal products are available before buying them?

        Then displaying prominently and/or allow free access to the public (like they do with snacks) will not help anyway so no need to do that

        At the end of the day, if you are serious about quitting, you’d talk to your doctor and get on a plan that includes a gum or patch… switching to a lighter brand is just fooling yourself

          She has tried laser (pretty sure it is a rip), patches and pills (bad dreams). She likes smoking so this is the only thing I can think of and it is impossible to do it now.
