Throughout 2014 and 2015, BAT and PMI issued pamphlets, endorsed by hospitality front group CACORE, to merchants to claim that TAPS at POS remained permitted. The pamphlet states, `the Ministry of Economy, Industry, and Commerce has confirmed: The display of cigarette packages at the point of sale is permitted, and the price lists and the identification of the products offered are a right of the customer and permitted' (translated by author).
