    Grace Ping Ping Tan, Xian Zhen Tan et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2024

  • Tobacco industry strategies for flavour capsule cigarettes

    Yvette van der Eijk, Ken Wah Teo et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2021

    To prevent tobacco companies from targeting young people and exploiting regulatory loopholes, regulations on tobacco products should ban flavours and consider the broad variety of FCV designs, additives and loose products designed to impart flavour into tobacco products

  • Tobacco industry targeting of health-conscious youth with ‘lighter’ cigarettes

    Yvette van der Eijk, Grace Ping Ping TanARTICLETobacco Control2020

    The differentiation of 'lighter' cigarettes remains an important marketing tool for tobacco companies amidst Singapore's strict regulations.
