| | Single cigarette pack self service displays in stores are easily accessible where |
| | customers can help themselves, and are often placed near candy and gum. Tobacco |
| | companies pay a premium, called slotting, often thousands of dollars to individual |
| | retailers to keep their displays in preferred placement areas up front. Only five states |
| | ban these self service displays. One third of all shoplifted items in supermarkets are |
| | cigarettes. |
