Secondary distributors may sell cigarettes to Illinois retailers issued a license under Section 4g of this Act for resale, and are also authorized to make retail sales of cigarettes at the location on the secondary distributor's license as long as the secondary distributor obtains a license under Section 4g of the Cigarette Tax Act and sells 75% or more of the cigarettes sold at such location to retailers issued a license under Section 4g of this Act for resale. All sales by secondary distributors to retailers issued a license under Section 4g of this Act must be made at the location on the secondary distributor's license.
