“…10,[16][17][18][19] As previously discussed, these disparate results may be due in part to the relatively few minors used in those studies, such that differences in perceived maturity by sex may have contributed to the variation in results. Approximately 3172 minors contributed to the compliance checks for the FDA, providing stable estimates of sales by age and sex.…”

“…12,16,17 Studies that have reported the likelihood of sales by retail outlet type are also mixed. At least 2 studies have shown lowest sales rates in pharmacies, 20,21 1 found mid-level sales rates in pharmacies, 10 and 1 found high sales in pharmacies. 22 Inconsistencies among previous studies may be the result of small samples, few minors employed in the checks, and wide ranges in the minors' ages.…”

“…27 In some studies, the effects of enforcement on youth smoking were confined to the youngest age cohorts. 2,28 Consistent with these observations, the reduction in smoking observed in the Central Coast between 1993 and 1996 reflected a sharper decline in smoking among the youngest age cohort.…”

To examine the impact of enforcement of age-restricted tobacco sales on adolescent tobacco purchasing and smoking, we compared the Central Coast intervention area to the rest of New South Wales (NSW) and Australia. We collected data on students in school years 7-12 from triennial health surveys at baseline in 1993 through 2002. Attempts by minors to purchase tobacco in the intervention area declined by 73.6 per cent between 1993 and 2002. Between 1993 and 1996 the prevalence of smoking declined in the Central Coast intervention area, while remaining unchanged in NSW as a whole and nationally (P<0.0001). Between 1993 and 2002, the prevalence of current smoking in the intervention area was reduced by half. Effective enforcement of an age-restricted tobacco sales law was accompanied by a substantial reduction in attempted purchases of tobacco and of smoking by youth. The long-term follow-up in this study allows us to observe that the impact of the intervention was not only sustained but also increased with time.

“…Al analizar las características de los menores en relación con el sexo, según las notificaciones de Altman, 13 Wakefield, 14 Foster, 15 Erickson, 16 y Kuri, 7 las niñas tienen menos dificultad para comprar cigarros que los niños, aunque difieren de otros que no hallaron diferencias por género (Skretny 17 ). En el estudio de la Ciudad de México, las mujeres tuvieron ciertas dificultades para obtener los cigarros respecto de los hombres, pero esto pudo ser consecuencia de que en ese estudio el número de intentos por género no fue el mismo: los hombres realizaron dos terceras partes de los intentos; además, no hubo mujeres de 13 años, lo que pudo elevar la proporción de intentos exitosos en ellas.…”
