“…In general, warning labels have the potential to contribute to the promotion of cigarette cessation, however their effectiveness is maximized when they are integrated into a complete tobacco control plan that encompasses various interventions targeting the reduction of tobacco consumption and its associated negative consequences [15].

The legislation pertaining to warning labels on tobacco packs exhibit variation across different countries. Numerous countries mandate the inclusion of conspicuous and visually impactful health warnings on cigarette packaging, which serve to depict the detrimental consequences associated with smoking. Typically, these warnings encompass visual representations or textual descriptions illustrating the adverse effects associated with smoking, such as lung cancer, heart disease and other health disorders directly linked to tobacco consumption. Health warnings are frequently governed by regulations that prescribe the dimensions, positioning, and perceptibility of such warnings.

Mystery shops (MS) involving attempted tobacco purchases by young buyers have been employed to monitor retail stores’ performance in refusing underage sales. Anecdotal evidence suggests that MS visits with immediate feedback to store personnel can improve age verification. This study investigated the impact of monthly and twice-monthly MS reports on age verification. Forty-five Walgreens stores were each visited 20 times by mystery shoppers. The stores were randomly assigned to one of three conditions. Control group stores received no feedback, whereas two treatment groups received feedback communications every visit (twice monthly) or every second visit (monthly) after baseline. Logit regression models tested whether each treatment group improved verification rates relative to the control group. Post-baseline verification rates were higher in both treatment groups than in the control group, but only the stores receiving monthly communications had a significantly greater improvement than control group stores. Verification rates increased significantly during the study period for all three groups, with delayed improvement among control group stores. Communication between managers regarding the MS program may account for the delayed age-verification improvements observed in the control group stores. Encouraging inter-store communication might extend the benefits of MS programs beyond those stores that receive this intervention.
