Simulating the Impact of Zoning Policies on Equitably Reducing Neighborhood Tobacco Retailer Availability
Living in a neighborhood with greater tobacco retailer availability (TRA) is associated with tobacco use, and there are persistent neighborhood racialized and socioeconomic inequities in TRA. Zoning could be leveraged as an innovative policy tool to equitably reduce TRA. In this study, we simulated the effect of zoning policies on reducing inequities in TRA in Oklahoma City (OKC) and Tulsa (Oklahoma). We spatially joined locations of tobacco reta…
“You’re Not a Cop, Right?” How Tobacco Retailers Navigate Underage Tobacco Purchases at the Point of Sale
PURPOSE: Despite the passage of federal Tobacco 21 (T21) policies, underage tobacco use remains a problem. Retailers play a critical role in enforcing T21 policies as they control access to tobacco products at the point of sale. Given the importance of retailer compliance in the success of T21 policies, this study aimed to investigate how clerks navigate situations when underage buyers attempt to purchase tobacco products by using comments captur…
Examining the implementation of court-ordered cigarette ‘corrective statements’ displayed in a regional sample of US tobacco retailers
Differences in corrective statement display and volume may shape exposure opportunities, influencing population impacts. Future research should examine whether consumers notice and process these messages in real-world conditions, critical precursors to knowledge or behavioural change
Inequities in the compliance of court-ordered point-of-sale tobacco industry corrective statements, USA
Introduction In 2006, a federal US court found several major tobacco companies guilty of violating civil racketeering laws for deceiving the public about the harms of cigarettes. After 16 years of legal battles, the court ordered 17 corrective statements to be placed in over 200 000 tobacco retailers who have contracts with the tobacco companies to educate the public on the truth about tobacco-related harms. This study examined if corrective stat…
Estimating tobacco product availability prevalence in medical cannabis dispensaries in Oklahoma, USA, 2024
As cannabis legalisation increases, cannabis dispensaries and tobacco retailers may begin selling both substances, potentially leading to initiation, increased use and co-use and decreased cessation of tobacco and cannabis products. To address these health risks, state and local laws that clearly prohibit retailers from selling both substances simultaneously are needed
Recommended self-report measures for use of menthol, mint and cooling-flavoured nicotine and tobacco products
Self-reported exposure and reactions to cigarette corrective statements at the point-of-sale among US adults who smoke and youth
About 18% of youth and 26% of smoking adults reported corrective statement exposure at POS. While exposure was positively associated with store visitation frequency, exposure was lower than for other tobacco POS messaging, suggesting that visual competition and limited retailer coverage may have constrained reach. Findings can inform future health messaging strategies in retail environments
Concurrent availability of cannabinoid and tobacco products in licensed tobacco retailers in three U.S. cities
This study identified a significant presence of cannabinoids in tobacco retailers across three U.S. cities with differing cannabis laws, with higher odds of being sold in stores selling e-cigarettes and cigars. Findings indicate an interconnected retail landscape for tobacco and cannabinoid products, highlighting a need for enhanced regulatory oversight and improved compliance with existing policies

Sunburns and Sun Protection Behaviors among Male Hispanic Outdoor Day Laborers
Individuals who work outside are at increased risk for skin cancer due to excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Little is known about UV exposures and sun safety practices of outdoor day laborers, who are disproportionately Hispanic. This study identified the correlates of sunburn and sun protection behaviors in a sample of male, Hispanic day laborers ( n = 175). More than half of the participants (54.9%) experienced one or more sunbu…

The Effect of Cigarillo Packaging Characteristics on Young Adult Perceptions and Intentions
Research demonstrates that characteristics of cigarette packaging influence consumer product perceptions, yet the current literature on the impact of cigar packaging is limited. This study aims to examine how different cigarillo packaging features influence young adult cigar smokers' perceptions. In 2016, we recruited past-year cigar users aged 18-34 from Amazon Mechanical Turk (N = 1260). We utilized a 2 × 2 × 3 × 2 between-subjects factorial de…
Associations between Black and Mild Cigar Pack Size and Demographics and Tobacco Use Behaviors among US Adults
Pack size is an important pricing strategy for the tobacco industry, but there is limited data on how users differ based on preferred pack size for cigar products. Using data from Wave 4 of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study, this study identified differences in adult cigar user characteristics based on pack size purchasing behavior among users of a top cigar brand, Black and Mild. Weighted chi-square tests were used to examine…
White Owl launches sweepstakes to promote new dessert-flavoured cigar
Since 2009, flavours other than menthol have been prohibited in cigarettes in the USA.1 Meanwhile, flavours remain available in other tobacco products, such as cigars, and continue to be produced and sold in the USA. In recent years, cigar sales have risen;2 notably, sales of flavoured cigars have increased by nearly 50% since the signing of the Tobacco Control Act.3 In 2018, the Food and Drug Administration announced their intent to move forward…
Natural American Spirit launches ‘Sky’, the brand’s first commercial organic cigarette with a charcoal filter
Natural American Spirit (NAS), a leading cigarette brand in the USA,1 markets its products using descriptors such as ‘organic’ and ‘tobacco & water’. Consumers believe that cigarettes with these and similar descriptors are more appealing, healthier and/or less harmful than cigarettes without these descriptors.2–11 Moreover, NAS advertising prominently features nature-related imagery, highlights the brand’s sustainable farming practices and exploi…
Cross-promotion of nicotine pouches by leading cigarette brands
Tobacco-free nicotine pouches are a new class of smokeless tobacco products that experienced precipitous sales1 increases since their national US market entry in 2016.2 Between 2016 and 2019, annual unit sales of nicotine pouches increased from approximately 100 000 to over 46 million. The pouches contain a powdered mix of nicotine, flavouring, sweeteners and binders; are used in a manner similar to snus (ie, placed between the lip and gum) and a…

Rapid proliferation of illegal pod-mod disposable e-cigarettes
Under pressure from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), JUUL Labs suspended sale of cucumber, creme, fruit and mango flavoured pods in US brick and mortar retail stores in November 2018 as part of the company’s plan to prevent youth e-cigarette use. Subsequently, mint flavour surged in popularity, against a backdrop of continued increases in youth e-cigarette prevalence.1 In October 2019, JUUL Labs halted sales of most of their flavoured p…
Shedding ‘light’ on cigarette pack design
Misperceptions about nicotine and tar exist years after rebranding Marlboro Lights as Marlboro Gold. Biological results support that Gold smokers do not have lower toxicant exposure. The US should consider comprehensive packaging or product design regulations to properly inform smokers of product risks.Trial registeration number NCT02301351

Different Smokes for Different Folks? E-Cigarettes and Tobacco Disparities
Examining market trends in the United States smokeless tobacco use
Sales of moist snuff, both overall and for particular styles, are increasing. Growing pouch use may be attributed to new SLT users, which may include cigarette smokers using them as starter SLT products. Increased sales of flavoured and discounted snuff raise concerns about use and appeal to youth. Continued surveillance of SLT sales trends is warranted
Preference for flavoured cigar brands among youth, young adults and adults in the USA
This study finds recent growth in flavoured cigar consumption and preference among youth and young adults for cigar brands that are flavoured. These findings underscore the need to expand monitoring of product attributes as well as individual-level cigar use behaviours captured through population surveillance
The influence of menthol, e-cigarettes and other tobacco products on young adults’ self-reported changes in past year smoking
Young adulthood is a critical period for smoking interventions, particularly among those most vulnerable to increasing smoking behaviours (ie, black and younger young adults). Policy efforts to restrict menthol cigarettes may reduce young adult smoking progression
Close, but no cigar
An abundance of evidence suggests that the tobacco industry's response to increased regulation imposed on cigarettes has been the development of little cigars and filtered cigars which are tobacco products that are merely cigarettes in disguise. Emphasising these products' physical attributes, the tobacco industry has offered cigar products to its consumers as pseudo-cigarettes. For decades, tobacco manufacturers' response to increased cigarette …

Evaluating the impact and equity of a tobacco-free pharmacy law on retailer density in New York City neighbourhoods
NYC's tobacco-free pharmacy law substantially reduces tobacco retailer density overall, but the impact is not equal across neighbourhoods. In order to minimise disparities in the tobacco retail environment, local governments considering a similar ban should supplement this strategy with other retailer restrictions to achieve equitable outcomes
