I like this law as it will give smokers less options in which to purchase thier cigarettes. Limiting where people can smoke has helped people quit so i'm sure those trying to quit will apprecaite having less places to buy thier smokes.

Fine that is a reason you like this law. Is that the reason why it was passed. Seems to me if they want to limit the places to buy smokes they would do the opposite, only allow them to be sold in pharmacies as there are far fewer of those than not. Also if their goal is to limit the exposure of minors in a family grocery store, seems to me there are tons more kids at every 7/11 than I ever see in the stores.
Which leads to me seeing this as an irritating law with no point.
I still cant get over how dumb the previous law was of covering up all the smokes. That in itself is a fine idea but they took it too far. I went into petro to buy some cigars so I asked the guy what they had. Well they arnt allowed to tell you that as it would be advertising tobacco products not even give you an idea of what they have in a price range. I left bewildered and a couple of pom poms because thats the only name of cigar I could think of.
