“…This proportion increased to 92.8% when distances were measured as the crow flies. Contrary to the results obtained in other studies, which associate the proximity between tobacco stores and schools with social deprivation37 and commercial and recreational land use,38 in Madrid, we found that the distribution of the stores did not show disparities in terms of the total number of population served, age, educational level or density of recreational facilities when considering distances to schools.…”

“…This is consistent with studies demonstrating large declines in tobacco use among youth (12); however, 14% were characterized as E-cigarette Users" and approximately 5% were characterized as Polytobacco Users.

“…One study found that convenience stores account for 4.1 million weekly teenager visits (Sanders-Jackson et al, 2015), and a recent study found that over 75% of stores displayed one tobacco price promotion, 50% had exterior marketing and 95% had interior marketing (Ribisl et al, 2017). The most common displayed price promotion by retail type was: gas/convenience store, pharmacy/drug store, tobacco store, convenience store (no gas station), supermarket, warehouse discount stores and liquor stores (Ribisl et al, 2017).…”

“…The most common displayed price promotion by retail type was: gas/convenience store, pharmacy/drug store, tobacco store, convenience store (no gas station), supermarket, warehouse discount stores and liquor stores (Ribisl et al, 2017). In a systematic review of neighborhood disparities in point-of-sale tobacco marketing, there was consistent evidence of more point-of-sale tobacco advertising in neighborhoods with lower incomes and neighborhoods with fewer non-Hispanic white residents (Lee et al, 2015).…”
