“…Furthermore, such programs risk capture by the tobacco industr y. 12 The situation may be somewhat different in NZ; for example, capture by the industr y is unlikely. In the context of a broad-based program of tobacco control, which includes provision of the Quit program for adults and strengthening of smoke-free environments legislation, it may be that enforcing a prohibition on the sale of cigarettes to those under 18 years of age is likely to be a cost-effective prevention strategy.…”

“…Más conocidos son los programas destinados a impedir a los menores de edad la compra de tabaco, programas que no afectan la prevalencia entre los jóvenes y sí benefician la imagen de las compañías 37. En España, las tabaqueras financiaron programas para jóvenes con la única intención de mejorar su imagen social e interferir con las políticas de control ("I was surprised how few of them put much emphasis on "working with others to develop communications programs aimed at youth to discourage them from smoking".…”

Background: Tobacco companies' strategies to promote tobacco use and undermine tobacco control policy are key in tobacco use among young people. The analysis of tobacco companies' internal documents can be instrumental in identifying those strategies, improving social support for tobacco control policy, and planning public health interventions. The goal of this study was to identify and analyze internal documents related to the activities of tobacco companies during the 1980s and 90s aimed at promoting smoking in young Spaniards. Methods: Electronic search by key word of tobacco industry documents held at the Legacy Tobacco Documents Library. Results: More than 1,000 documents were identified and reviewed, including letters, messages, memos, and other documents. Seventeen documents related to the objective of the study are analyzed and discussed. Conclusions: Tobacco companies funded and conducted activities aimed at maintaining high smoking incidence and prevalence in Spain. These activities, which included research, cigarette and packaging design, promotion, and social and political manipulation, may have had an impact on current levels of tobacco use in Spain.

“…In addition, selling or providing cigarettes to youth is also banned (Vietnam National Assembly 2012). However, previous experiences showed that enforcement of laws for controlling tobacco use among youth usually did not affect teen/school children smoking because they could get cigarette from several different sources such as street vendors, vending machines, and other people (Ling and Landman, et al, 2002). Therefore, the efforts of reducing tobacco use among youth in general and school children in particular need to base on understanding of the access to cigarette of these subjects.…”

Efforts to reduce tobacco use among school children need to be based on understanding of access to cigarettes by these subjects because previous studies indicated that enforcement of laws for controlling tobacco sales seems to not affect teen/school children because they can obtain cigarettes from different sources. This paper aims to describe access to and availability of cigarettes among school students (aged 13-15 years old) according to the data from GYTS Vietnam 2014. In GYTS, a national school-based survey of students of grades 8-10, our findings showed that about 15% school children are current smokers who smoke at home, and that they could easily buy cigarettes from stores (63.2%), or someone else (27.8%), or street vendors (9%). Notably, over 85% of school children answered that they were not refused because of their age. This high percentage was nearly the same in the North (85.7%), the Centre (92.5%), and the South (89.7%) of Viet Nam. These findings show that it is quite easy for school children to obtain cigarettes and this is a crucial challenge for policy makers aiming to reduce tobacco use among youth in general and school-age students in particular.
