To require cigarette products to be placed under or behind the counter in retail sales.

H.R. 3162 is a legislative proposal that would require all retail stores to store cigarette products behind or under the checkout counter rather than on open display floors. This change would end the practice of self-service access for tobacco products, meaning customers would have to request them directly from a store employee. Under this bill, any retailer that fails to move these products out of reach of the general public would be subject to penalties enforced by the Federal Trade Commission.
