Nicotine Pouch Awareness, Susceptibility, and Use Among California College Students
Pushing the US nicotine pouch market: Insights from Zyn’s free can campaign in September 2025
Availability of flavoured tobacco in San Francisco Bay Area stores after California’s statewide sales restriction
Menthol cigarette sales were rare, but sales of flavoured vapes persisted. Targets for further enforcement are tobacco specialty shops and FLUM. Contrary to expectation, duration of local laws was not associated with lower odds of violation, but the sample was limited to San Francisco Bay Area counties
Early assessment of compliance with California’s flavoured tobacco sales prohibition: Evidence from vape shops
This study revealed high rates of violations among vape shops within 4 to 7 months after the implementation of California's law. Efforts to improve retailer education and enforcement are warranted
Cigarette and cigarillo ads promote ‘flavour’ in a US state that prohibits flavoured tobacco sales
Limiting tobacco accessibility by transitioning tobacco sales to state alcohol stores: Estimated increases in travel time and changes in associated disparities
The TTS policy would make tobacco less accessible and reduce racial, ethnic and socioeconomic disparities in tobacco retail accessibility in most of the states examined
Impact of the California state flavoured tobacco sales restriction on e-cigarette use behaviours among youth
We observed limited change in the use of flavoured e-cigarettes after a state-wide law restricting flavoured tobacco sales was enacted. Findings may reflect inadequate implementation (eg, insufficient enforcement efforts), which warrants further study to reduce youth access to flavoured tobacco products
Cooling down hotspots of retail tobacco products: Addressing Disparities in the Built Environment Through Policy
Multiple disparities exist in the built environment for retail tobacco. Disproportionate concentrations of retail outlets result in variation in the availability of tobacco products, consumer access, and exposure to tobacco marketing. Neighborhoods with higher tobacco retail density have higher tobacco use than neighborhoods with lower density. Local policies focused on reducing tobacco retail concentration can address systematic disparities in t…

Preemption in State Tobacco Minimum Legal Sales Age Laws in the US, 2022: A Policy Analysis of State Statutes and Case Laws
Preemptive statutory language within tobacco minimum legal sales age (MLSA) laws has prohibited localities from enacting stricter laws than state statutes. With the recent uptake of state Tobacco 21 laws in the US, the current landscape of preempted MLSA laws is unknown. This study sought to update the status of preemption in MLSA laws enacted in US states between 2015-2022. A public health attorney reviewed state tobacco MLSA laws ( n = 50) and …
Causal effects of point-of-sale cigarette promotions and subjective social status on cigarette craving: A randomised within-person experiment
Viewing images of point-of-sale cigarette promotions can causally increase cravings to smoke, which may also apply to real-world retail settings that display cigarette promotions. Restricting point-of-sale promotions generally, and discounts specifically, could help reduce cigarette smoking and address tobacco use disparities in the USA
Rapid-response surveillance of the first US test market for VLN cigarettes
Retail marketing strategies for VLN mimic those for high-nicotine cigarettes. Deviations from FDA-authorised marketing claims were evident. Surveillance in future test markets is recommended to assess compliance with marketing claims and examine relative price and discount offers. Of interest is how premium-priced, low-nicotine cigarettes stand to compete in a market dominated by cheaper high-nicotine cigarettes
Impact of Local Flavored Tobacco Sales Restrictions on Policy-Related Attitudes and Tobacco Product Access
BACKGROUND: As of September 2020, more than 300 state and local jurisdictions restrict the sales of flavored tobacco, with some including menthol. AIMS: To evaluate the impact of local ordinances restricting the sale of flavored tobacco, we surveyed Californians regarding policy support and perceived access to flavored tobacco. METHODS: In 2019, we conducted an online survey of 3,075 California youth and young adults recruited via social media, a…
State T21, Restrictions on Flavored E-Cigarette Products, and Non-Medical Cannabis Sales Legalization in Relation to Young Adult Reports of Vape Shop Age Verification and Product Offerings: A Multilev…
Vape shop practices related to age verification and product offerings (e.g., other tobacco, cannabis), which may affect young-adult tobacco/substance use, are likely impacted by state-level policies (i.e., Tobacco 21 [T21], flavored e-cigarette restrictions, non-medical cannabis legalization). Using data from young adults (18-34 years) in 6 US states representing variability in whether/when they implemented the aforementioned policies, this study…
The Reshaping of the E-Cigarette Retail Environment: Its Evolution and Public Health Concerns
E-cigarette use represents a public health controversy in the US and globally. Despite the potential of e-cigarettes to support cigarette cessation, their use increases health risks and risk for addiction, particularly in young people. Various federal, state, and local laws have impacted tobacco retail in general and e-cigarettes in particular. In the US, 2019-2020 federal laws increased in the minimum legal sales age for tobacco to 21 and banned…
The Impact of Recent Tobacco Regulations and Covid-19 Restrictions and Implications for Future E-Cigarette Retail: Perspectives from Vape and Vape-and-Smoke Shop Merchants
Surveillance of tobacco retail, consumer behavior, and regulatory compliance is warranted as policies regarding nicotine and cannabis continue evolving
Nicotine pouch marketing strategies in the USA: An analysis of Zyn, On! and Velo
Regulatory efforts must be informed by surveillance of nicotine pouch marketing and impacts on consumer subgroups (eg, young people)
Draining the tobacco swamps: Shaping the built environment to reduce tobacco retailer proximity to residents in 30 big US cities
Combining geospatial data on residential and tobacco retailer density in 30 big US cities, we find that a large majority of urban residents live in tobacco swamps - neighborhoods where there is a glut of tobacco retailers. In this study, we simulate the effects of tobacco retail reduction policies and compare probable changes in resident-to-retailer proximity and retailer density for each city. While measures of proximity and density at baseline …
Perceived Susceptibility to and Seriousness of Covid-19: Associations of Risk Perceptions with Changes in Smoking Behavior
During the COVID-19 pandemic, studies have documented increased and decreased cigarette smoking among adults. Individual differences in the perceived susceptibility and seriousness of the virus, for people who smoke in general and for oneself personally, may relate to changes in smoking. Using the Health Belief Model (HBM) as a theoretical framework, we examined associations with self-reported increasing and decreasing smoking a lot during the CO…
Using place-based characteristics to inform FDA tobacco sales inspections: Results from a multilevel propensity score model
The multilevel PSM predicts the RVSM with a good rank order of retail violations. The model-based approach can be used to identify hot spots of retail violations and improve the sampling plan for future inspections
Sources of flavoured e-cigarettes among California youth and young adults: Associations with local flavoured tobacco sales restrictions
Although local laws may reduce access to flavoured e-cigarettes from retail sources, more comprehensive state or federal restrictions are recommended to close the loopholes for online sources. Dedicated efforts to curtail access from social sources are needed
Thoughts on neologisms and pleonasm in scientific discourse and tobacco control
As public health reckons with the implications of language, word choice and their impacts,1–3 so too does Tobacco Control . Indeed, the editor-in-chief in 2010 pointed to the power of language in bounding discussions in the field.4 A common parlance or agreed on set of terms is important for moving science (and policy) forward—comparing like to like, allowing for replication, facilitating review and synthesis, and translating science into action.…
The changing retail landscape for tobacco: Dollar stores and the availability of cheap cigarettes among tobacco-related priority populations
Dollar stores may exacerbate smoking-related inequities by contributing to the availability of cheaper cigarettes in neighbourhoods that are lower income, rural and have greater proportions of youth. Pro-equity retail policies, such as minimum price laws and density reduction policies, could mitigate the health consequences of dollar stores' rapid expansion
Implementation of a comprehensive flavoured tobacco product sales restriction and retail tobacco sales
San Francisco's comprehensive restriction virtually eliminated flavoured tobacco sales and decreased total tobacco sales in mainstream retailers. Unlike other US flavoured tobacco policy evaluations, there was no evidence of substitution to concept-flavour named products. Results may be attributed to San Francisco Department of Health's self-education and rigorous retailer education, as well as the law's rebuttable presumption of a product as fla…
Plant-based menthol cigarettes? Food industry trends and farm-to-pack cigarette advertising
Dairy-free milk, vegan eggs, meatless burgers and...plant-based cigarettes? While the proliferation of plant-based products is most commonly associated with food and beverages,1 2 Winston’s new packaging and advertising—highlighting ‘100% plant-based menthol’ (figure 1) and ‘farm to pack’ (figure 2) cigarettes—suggest that the tobacco industry is tapped into some of today’s most popular food trends. These marketing strategies are well aligned wit…
The early use of alcohol and tobacco: Its relation to children's competence and parents' behavior
OBJECTIVES: Use of tobacco and alcohol during childhood predicts heavy use of these substances and use of illicit drugs during adolescence. This study aims to identify developmental correlates of tobacco and alcohol use among elementary-school children. METHODS: Cross-sectional surveys were used to measure tobacco and alcohol use, multiple indicators of child competence, parenting behaviors, and parental modeling of tobacco and alcohol use in a s…
Inequalities in tobacco outlet density by race, ethnicity and socioeconomic status, 2012, USA: Results from the ASPiRE Study
BACKGROUND: Evidence of racial/ethnic inequalities in tobacco outlet density is limited by: (1) reliance on studies from single counties or states, (2) limited attention to spatial dependence, and (3) an unclear theory-based relationship between neighbourhood composition and tobacco outlet density. METHODS: In 97 counties from the contiguous USA, we calculated the 2012 density of likely tobacco outlets (N=90 407), defined as tobacco outlets per 1…
Tobacco Town: Computational Modeling of Policy Options to Reduce Tobacco Retailer Density
Objectives. To identify the behavioral mechanisms and effects of tobacco control policies designed to reduce tobacco retailer density. Methods. We developed the Tobacco Town agent-based simulation model to examine 4 types of retailer reduction policies: (1) random retailer reduction, (2) restriction by type of retailer, (3) limiting proximity of retailers to schools, and (4) limiting proximity of retailers to each other. The model examined the ef…
Association of Retail Tobacco Marketing With Adolescent Smoking
A survey of 2125 middle-school students in central California examined adolescents’ exposure to tobacco marketing in stores and its association with self-reported smoking. Two thirds of sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-grade students reported at least weekly visits to small grocery, convenience, or liquor stores. Such visits were associated with a 50% increase in the odds of ever smoking, even after control for social influences to smoke. Youth smoki…

Prices for Tobacco and Nontobacco Products in Pharmacies Versus Other Stores: Results From Retail Marketing Surveillance in California and in the United States
Objectives. To examine disparities in the price of tobacco and nontobacco products in pharmacies compared with other types of stores. Methods. We recorded the prices of Marlboro, Newport, the cheapest cigarettes, and bottled water in a random sample of licensed tobacco retailers (n = 579) in California in 2014. We collected comparable data from retailers (n = 2603) in school enrollment zones for representative samples of US 8th, 10th, and 12th gr…
Tobacco Retailer Proximity and Density and Nicotine Dependence Among Smokers With Serious Mental Illness
Objectives. We examined the density and proximity of tobacco retailers and associations with smoking behavior and mental health in a diverse sample of 1061 smokers with serious mental illness (SMI) residing in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. Methods. Participants’ addresses were geocoded and linked with retailer licensing data to determine the distance between participants’ residence and the nearest retailer (proximity) and the number o…

Young adults' opinions of Philip Morris and its television advertising
Advertisements designed to discredit the tobacco industry typically avoid references to specific companies. This study suggests that such counter-advertising would benefit from teaching audiences about the industry's corporate identities
Reaching youth at the point of sale: Cigarette marketing is more prevalent in stores where adolescents shop frequently
Regardless of whether tobacco companies intentionally target youth at the point of sale, these findings underscore the importance of strategies to reduce the quantity and impact of cigarette marketing materials in this venue
Association of Retail Tobacco Marketing With Adolescent Smoking
A survey of 2125 middle-school students in central California examined adolescents’ exposure to tobacco marketing in stores and its association with self-reported smoking.

Industry sponsored anti-smoking ads and adolescent reactance: Test of a boomerang effect
This study demonstrates that industry sponsored anti-smoking ads do more to promote corporate image than to prevent youth smoking. By cultivating public opinion that is more sympathetic toward tobacco companies, the effect of such advertising is likely to be more harmful than helpful to youth
Is adolescent smoking related to the density and proximity of tobacco outlets and retail cigarette advertising near schools?
A Longitudinal Study of Exposure to Retail Cigarette Advertising and Smoking Initiation
OBJECTIVES: Accumulating evidence suggests that widespread advertising for cigarettes at the point of sale encourages adolescents to smoke; however, no longitudinal study of exposure to retail tobacco advertising and smoking behavior has been reported. METHODS: A school-based survey included 1681 adolescents (aged 11-14 years) who had never smoked. One measure of exposure assessed the frequency of visiting types of stores that contain the most ci…
Comprehensive tobacco marketing restrictions: Promotion, packaging, price and place
Racial differences in cigarette brand recognition and impact on youth smoking
The study findings illustrate that African-American youth are better able to recognize Newport cigarette advertisements, even after adjustment for exposure to smoking by parents and peers. In addition, recognition of Newport cigarette advertising predicted smoking initiation, regardless of race. This longitudinal study contributes to a growing body of evidence that supports a ban on menthol flavored cigarettes in the US as well as stronger regula…
Tobacco Retailer Proximity and Density and Nicotine Dependence Among Smokers With Serious Mental Illness
Objectives. We examined the density and proximity of tobacco retailers and associations with smoking behavior and mental health in a diverse sample of 1061 smokers with serious mental illness (SMI) residing in the San Francisco Bay Area of California.

Standardized Tobacco Assessment for Retail Settings (STARS): Dissemination and implementation research
The study concludes with examples of states that used STARS to inform policy change
Tobacco retail policy landscape: A longitudinal survey of US states
Retail policy activities in US states increased dramatically in a short time. Given what is known about the impact of the retail environment on tobacco use by youth and adults, state and local TCPs may want diversify policy priorities by implementing retail policies alongside tax and smoke-free air laws

The flip side of Natural American Spirit: Corporate social responsibility advertising
The flip side of Natural American Spirit cigarette packs now align the brand with ‘Respect for the Earth’, a corporate social responsibility (CSR) campaign. It champions a ‘100% zero-waste-to-landfill’ manufacturing facility, ‘earth-friendly tobacco’, easier pack recycling, and ‘U.S.-grown tobacco’ (figure 1). Such marketing appeals to biospheric values, with emphasis on the intrinsic value of the ecosystem, implying a moral imperative to act pro…
Marijuana as a ‘concept’ flavour for cigar products: Availability and price near California schools
Understanding how the tobacco industry manipulates cigar products and marketing to capitalise on the appeal of marijuana to youth and other priority populations is important to inform regulation, particularly for flavoured tobacco products. In addition, the retail availability of five and six packs of LCCs for ≤$1 near California schools underscores policy recommendations to establish minimum prices for multipacks

What to do when tobacco advertisers exploit antitobacco social media campaigns to sell tobacco
Public health antitobacco campaigns on social media reach a broad audience and can foster public engagement in active conversations that are not possible with traditional media channels such as television or radio.1 This new level of engagement, however, brings added challenges, chiefly the potential to lose control of a message. For instance, antitobacco campaigns can be attacked by counter-campaigns that can dilute and overwhelm a public health…
PMI reduced-risk claims and upselling of Iqos via Reviti life insurance
Reviti Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Philip Morris International (PMI), incorporated 5 July 2018, sells life insurance in the UK, with plans to expand into other markets.1 Incentivising smokers to switch to PMI’s heated tobacco product IQOS, Reviti generated media attention.1 2 The advertised discounts on Reviti’s premiums average 50% for smokers who quit tobacco and nicotine altogether for over a year, 25% for smokers who switch to IQOS …
Neighbourhood disparities in the price of the cheapest cigarettes in the USA
BACKGROUND: There is evidence that the cheapest cigarettes cost even less in neighbourhoods with higher proportions of youth, racial/ethnic minorities and low-income residents. This study examined the relationship between the price of the cheapest cigarette pack and neighbourhood demographics in a representative sample of tobacco retailers in the USA. METHODS: Data collectors recorded the price of the cheapest cigarette pack (regardless of brand)…
