(b) A Tobacco Retailer or Proprietor without a valid Tobacco Retailer Permit, including but not limited to a person whose Permit has been revoked:
(1) Shall keep all Tobacco Products and Tobacco Paraphernalia out of public view.
(2) Shall not display any advertisement relating to Tobacco Products or Tobacco Paraphernalia that promotes the sale or distribution of such products from the Tobacco Retailer’s location or that could lead a reasonable consumer to believe that such products can be obtained at that location.
