Tobacco product flavour policies in the USA
Rapid implementation of proposed US Food and Drug Administration rules barring flavoured cigar and menthol cigarette sales is needed to ensure that regulation of more lethal, combustible tobacco products is not more lenient than restrictions on less harmful nicotine products
Swisher Blunts
Digital footprints of the US e-cigarette market
Google search trends and social media activities can serve as digital footprints of the e-cigarette market, providing reliable data sources for near-real-time monitoring of the prominence of e-cigarette brands in the marketplace
Evaluating trends in cigarette and HTP use in Japan and measurement issues in the National Health and Nutrition Survey
While suggesting that HTPs helped some people who smoke to quit smoking, this study also shows the difficulties in eliciting accurate survey responses about product use and distinguishing the impact of a potentially harm-reducing product in an environment subject to rapidly evolving patterns of use

The smoking and vaping model, A user-friendly model for examining the country-specific impact of nicotine Vaping product use
SAVM enables non-modelers, policymakers, and other stakeholders to analyze the potential population health effects of NVP use and public health interventions
MRTP claim authorisation and General Snus sales in the USA
Although only General Snus received MRTP authorisation, this designation appears to have slowed declines for the entire snus category. This suggests consumers may make determinations regarding product risk to a product class rather than individual products
The longitudinal association between coupon receipt and established cigarette smoking initiation among young adults in USA
These findings show that receiving tobacco coupons may increase the likelihood that young adults will initiate established cigarette smoking, underscoring the need to address the effects of this tobacco marketing tactic
A Decision-Theoretic Public Health Framework for Heated Tobacco and Nicotine Vaping Products
Markets for nicotine vaping products (NVPs) and heated tobacco products (HTPs) have grown as these products became positioned as harm-reduction alternatives to combusted tobacco products. Herein, we present a public health decision-theoretic framework incorporating different patterns of HTP, NVP, and cigarette use to examine their impacts on population health. Our framework demonstrates that, for individuals who would have otherwise smoked, HTP u…
Public health impact of a US ban on menthol in cigarettes and cigars
Our findings strongly support the implementation of a ban on menthol in cigarettes and cigars
The Evali outbreak and tobacco sales in the USA, 2014–2020
Sales of e-cigarettes declined in response to the EVALI outbreak and from the most restrictive regulatory policies that were adopted in response, while sales of cigarettes were affected less
Tobacco 21 adoption decreased sales of cigarette brands purchased by young people
This study adds compelling empirical evidence that T21 decreased purchases of the cigarette brands consumed disproportionately by young people, the policy's target demographic
Flavored E-Cigarette Sales in the United States Under Self-Regulation From January 2015 Through October 2019
Objectives. To describe the evolution of flavored e-cigarette sales since the expansion of the JUUL brand, and to describe the effect of JUUL’s November 2018 decision to self-regulate the flavors it sold in stores on flavored e-cigarette sales. Methods. We used Scantrack data on sales of e-cigarettes in the United States from January 2015 to October 2019 provided by The Nielsen Company. National sales values were aggregated monthly in 5 flavor ca…
The Need for Better Compliance Assurance Mechanisms to Protect Young People
Effect of Iqos introduction on cigarette sales
The introduction of IQOS likely reduced cigarette sales in Japan. The net population health impact, however, cannot be assessed without resolving several key uncertainties related to the direct harms of IQOS and the precise patterns of both smoking and IQOS use
Who's still smoking? Disparities in adult cigarette smoking prevalence in the United States
The continuing high prevalence of cigarette smoking among specific subpopulations, many of them vulnerable, is one of the most pressing challenges facing the tobacco control community. These populations include individuals in lower education and/or socioeconomic groups; from certain racial/ethnic groups; in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community; with mental illness; and in the military, particularly among those in the lowest pay g…
Heated tobacco products and combusted cigarettes
The tax advantages being given to HTPs may instead of providing a price signal to a consumer looking to switch, be providing a profit signal to tobacco companies to switch over to selling more HTPs and fewer combusted cigarettes. The implications of these dynamics for public health are unclear
Combustible cigarettes cost less to use than e-cigarettes
Existing prices of e-cigarettes are generally much higher than of combustible cigarettes. If policymakers wish to tax e-cigarettes less than combustibles, forceful policy action-almost certainly through excise taxation-must raise the price of combustible cigarettes beyond the price of using e-cigarettes
The impact of the Malaysian minimum cigarette price law
The MPL appears not to have meaningfully changed cigarette prices in Malaysia, as licit brand prices remained well above and illicit brand prices remained well below the minimum price level before and after MPL's implementation. The increasing proportion of illicit cigarettes on the market may have undermined any positive health effects of the Malaysian MPL. The illicit cigarette trade must be addressed before a full evaluation of the Malaysian M…
Tobacco Surcharges on 2015 Health Insurance Plans Sold in Federally Facilitated Marketplaces
In 2014, few health insurance plans sold in the Affordable Care Act’s Federally Facilitated Marketplaces had age-dependent tobacco surcharges, possibly because of a system glitch. The 2015 tobacco surcharges show wide variation, with more plans implementing tobacco surcharges that increase with age. This underscores concerns that older tobacco users will find postsubsidy health insurance premiums difficult to afford. Future monitoring of enrollme…
Cigarette price level and variation in five Southeast Asian countries
Tobacco industry strategy and excise tax structure drove the price level and variation of cigarettes sold in packs, while currency denominations influence the selling price of single sticks. To maximise the effectiveness of tobacco tax policies, countries should adopt specific excise tax structures to decrease cigarette price variation, which would minimise opportunities for smokers to 'trade down' to a cheaper brand to avoid a tax-driven price i…
Berman Et Al. Respond
We certainly agree with Hahn et al. that the ultimate goal is for residents of the Appalachian region to be protected by comprehensive, anti-preemptive statewide smoke-free laws, but we evidently disagree about the best strategy to reach that goal.1 Although we do not intend to downplay the determined efforts and tremendous accomplishments of local advocates in parts of Appalachia, our study found that years of local advocacy for smoke-free laws …
Clean Indoor Air Ordinance Coverage in the Appalachian Region of the United States
Objectives. We sought to quantitatively examine the pattern of, and socioeconomic factors associated with, adoption of clean indoor air ordinances in Appalachia. Methods. We collected and reviewed clean indoor air ordinances in Appalachian communities in 6 states and rated the ordinances for completeness of coverage in workplaces, restaurants, and bars. Additionally, we computed a strength score to measure coverage in 7 locations. We fit mixed-ef…
