There are a number of tobacco retailers near schools in Albuquerque.

This store in the picture to the left, Tobacco Road, is across the street from Manzano high school.

This outlet maintains a convenient drive up window as well as a well-stocked inventory. The windows actively display the tobacco propaganda and messaging.

In the image to the right, we see a large sign with many advertisements and promotions. These include general smoking, multiple pack, snuff (chew tobacco), Camel, Winston and Marlboro enticements.

The sign approximates a billboard in size and nature. Yet, there are a number of tobacco-related messages. This is another way the tobacco industry finds loopholes within the settlement.

We feel this is another form of tiling. Tiling is prohibited under the terms of the settlement.

Convenience stores are blanketed with tobacco advertising near the check stand. These counter level promotions are eye-level for children, teens and youth. The messaging is overwhelming.
