Who can use a binder and what information can it contain?
Binders can be used to list the inventory of cigarettes, cigars and other specialty tobacco items available in a retail outlet. Pictures of product packages, descriptions, nicotine content, health warnings, prices, and the product packages themselves are permitted in binders. Comparative price information is allowed in a binder. Advertising materials such as tobacco advertisements from a magazine or promotional poster may be considered promotional and should not be included in a binder. A binder may be stored beneath the counter and used by a clerk with a customer of legal age to complete a tobacco purchase transaction. (i.e. a binder may be used to identify which product the customer wishes to purchase.) The binder should only be taken out during a sale and then returned immediately thereafter to its storage spot. The binder may not be left open on the counter.
