How are adults supposed to shop for tobacco products when there’s no menu and everything is hidden behind drawers? (lemmy.ca)

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?

Actually a lot of new restaurants don't have menu, they have a QR code on the table and you use your phone to review. And before going to a restaurant I check google reviews, they have the website menu as well as pictures of the meals taken by patrons.

The point of purchase is not the place to do your health research, because that gets back to advertising issues.
