“…When clerks requested the minor's age, sales were refused 93.2% of the time. These findings are consistent with research conducted by Arday et al (1997), Landrine et al (1997), andClark et al (2000).…”

“…If minors were questioned by clerks about their age during a tobacco purchase attempt, 96% of the time they were refused cigarettes, and if the clerk requested identification from the minor, 99% of the time the tobacco sale was refused. Clark et al (2000) also found a significant relationship between a clerk's request for proof of age and refusal of sales. Minors were refused illegal sales 90% of the time when asked for proof of age.…”

“…O'Grady, Asbridge and Abernathy (1999) found that older minors were the most successful and the younger minors were least successful in illegally purchasing tobacco. Clark, Natanblut, Schmitt, Wolters and Iachan (2000) also found that the success rate in purchasing cigarettes increased with each increasing year of age. However, one study by Arday, Klevens, Nelson, Huang, Giovino and Mowrey (1997) did not find a relationship between apparent age and sales outcome.…”

“…Forster et al (1997) found that gas stations and convenience stores were most likely to sell cigarettes to youth followed by grocery stores and restaurants. Clark et al (2000) found that gas stations had the highest sales rates, but convenient stores that did not sell gas had the lowest sales rates. However, Arday et al (1997) found no relationship between type of store and successful sales outcome when looking only at stores with over the counter sales.…”

“…convenience store, gas station, etc.). Previous studies have found differences in the likelihood of selling tobacco products to minors by the type of vendor [27] [28]. This study also did not account for the demographics of the vendors or shoppers, while previous work has found that this may impact the likelihood of sales to minors [28].…”

Despite the fact that the sale of tobacco to minors is illegal in Ontario, youth are still able to purchase tobacco. This study aims to determine the geographic variations of underage tobacco sales at the neighborhood level within the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit. Data were collected on all inspections of tobacco retail stores from 2007 to 2011 in the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit. Data were split into season 1 (September-February) and season 2 (March-August) to assess a possible seasonal effect. Relative risks were calculated for each dissemination area (DA) by modeling the risks in a hierarchical Bayesian fashion, incorporating appropriate random effects terms for both spatially correlated and uncorrelated random errors with adjustments for neighborhood income. The association between violation rate and proximity to a school was assessed through a buffer analysis. Elliptical analysis detected a significant cluster of high risk DAs in season 1 in Windsor (p-value = 0.022) but no significant cluster in season 2. Some DAs exhibited higher relative risks of tobacco sales to minors, however after adjusting the model for neighborhood income no excess risk was observed. The results of the buffer analysis showed that in season 1 there was a significantly higher probability (p-value = 0.045) of tobacco vendors located closer to schools to sell tobacco to minors. This analysis demonstrates the utility of a systematic approach to identifying neighborhoods with higher risks of tobacco sales to minors. The insights provided by this exploratory, ecologic study are valuable for program planning and directing tobacco enforcement efforts to high risk areas.
