Public health nudging restricts shopkeepers' freedom, challenging libertarian paternalism.
Nudging is a way to change behavior without force, but it can restrict the freedom of shopkeepers. Public health authorities use nudging to influence where products are placed in stores, which limits shopkeepers' freedom. This coercion cannot be justified by libertarianism, and other liberal theories can justify it but also support other methods like subsidies and regulations. Nudging should be used alongside these other methods, not as a replacement.
