LAUSANNE, Switzerland--()--Philip Morris International (PMI) (NYSE:PM)(Paris:PM) announces the launch of www.productdisplayban.com. The website has been created to provide facts about the implications of a total ban on the display of tobacco products in retail stores.
“A number of countries are investigating a ban on display of tobacco products in retail stores. There is limited information in the public domain that describes experiences from countries that have banned display and so we felt that it would be useful to create a website that provides information on the effectiveness of the ban, as well as to describe its impact on adult smokers, retailers, tobacco manufacturers and enforcement agencies,” said Morgan Rees, Director of Regulatory Communications for PMI.
Philip Morris supports effective regulation but opposes a total ban on the display of tobacco products in stores.
