Can the owner of a pharmacy open a smoke kiosk within the pharmacy under the non-smokers health protection amendment act?

  1. Yes, without any restrictions

  2. Yes, if there is a separate entrance

  3. No, under any circumstances

  4. Yes, but only for selling nicotine replacement therapies

The correct answer is: No, under any circumstances

No, under any circumstances. The non-smokers health protection amendment act prohibits the sale of any tobacco products within the pharmacy premises. This means that the owner of the pharmacy cannot open a smoke kiosk within the pharmacy, even if there is a separate entrance or if they are only selling nicotine replacement therapies. The law is in place to protect non-smokers from the harmful effects of secondhand smoke, therefore the owner of the pharmacy must adhere to this restriction. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they suggest that there may be exceptions to the law, but in reality the law applies in all circumstances.
