11.1. Each retailer, that receives funds from manufacturers for cigarette display allowances, shall ensure separate accounting and record keeping for display allowances. A retailer may not use display allowance payments to reduce the cost of cigarettes for sale to consumers.

11.2. Any retailer that offers for sale any cigarettes for which the manufacturer makes a contribution to the retail price paid by a consumer (by means of coupons, stickers, buy-downs, or otherwise) shall post in a conspicuous place a notice advising the public of that fact and any such contribution shall be included in calculating the price for which the cigarettes are sold under this section.

11.3. No retailer may sell cigarettes to consumers that have been provided by the manufacturer as complimentary cigarettes. Such complimentary cigarettes are typically labeled on the package as "complimentary," "not for resale" or words of similar effect.
