“…Studies were split fairly evenly across the five main intervention types, with 16 evaluating the equity impact of tobacco price/taxation increases, [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] 17 focusing on smoke-free policies, 20 27 32 35-48 11 on mass media campaigns, 20 24 35 49- 56 15 on sales and marketing controls, 20 27 57-69 and 16 investigating the impact of population-level cessation support. 20 27 70-83 Two studies looked at broader inequalities-focused interventions 84 85 and five evaluated the combined impact of multiple policies.…”

Impact of population tobacco control interventions on socioeconomic inequalities in smoking: a systematic review and appraisal of future research directions

BackgroundWhile price increases and targeted cessation support have been found to reduce inequalities in smoking by socioeconomic status (SES), evidence on other measures is mixed. We aimed to update the most recent (2014) previous review by identifying and appraising evidence published since 2013 on the equity impact of population tobacco control measures.MethodsSystematic searching of 10 electronic databases and hand-searching of four key journals identified 68 primary research articles published since 2013 that sought to examine the equity impact of population tobacco control measures in high-income countries with a negative socioeconomic gradient in smoking. Reported equity impacts were categorised as positive (greater impact among lower SES), neutral (no difference by SES), negative (greater impact among higher SES) or mixed/unclear.ResultsThere was substantial growth in research seeking to evaluate the equity impact of tobacco control interventions, but the majority of new studies showed mixed/unclear results. Findings for price increases and targeted cessation support continue to suggest an equity-positive impact, but limitations in the available evidence make further assessment difficult. Substantial differences in the context, scale and implementation of tobacco control policies make straightforward comparison of findings from the previous 2014 and current reviews problematic.ConclusionResearchers need to adopt more sophisticated, multidisciplinary approaches in evaluating the equity impact of tobacco control measures—developing robust measures of equity effect and using frameworks that take account of context, existing systems/processes and the likely mechanisms of action. Socioeconomic differences in intervention impact within low-income and middle-income countries require evaluation.

“…Historically, a one-size-fits-all approach to public health and tobacco control has not improved tobacco-related disparities and racial health gaps in the US 11 - 13 . For example, Black Americans do not benefit equally from smoke-free policies, a well-established strategy to promote smoking cessation 14 - 16 .…”

Objective — to systematize scientific knowledge on the effect of living conditions in large national regions on tobacco consumption at the individual level. Material and Methods — The goals and methodology of the systematic review were previously specified and recorded in the protocol PROSPERO CRD42021234874. We conducted a search for publications on the topic of our study in PubMed, Google Scholar, OpenGrey, CrossRef and eLibrary databases through December 31, 2021. Article search, selection and analysis were carried out by two trained researchers, with the participation of a third researcher whenever necessary. After removing duplicates, ineligible articles, and full-text screening, 204 publications were included in this review from the initial pool of 9,717 publications. Results — Published articles on the topic under consideration varied significantly in terms of the sample size, study design, regional characteristics, and considered outcomes (smoking). The most convincing were the dependences of individual tobacco consumption on the legislative characteristics and tobacco environment in the regions. Regional characteristics unrelated to tobacco use were not often analyzed in reviewed studies. As shown in our review, to date, they did not confirm any impact whatsoever. Conclusion — We examined the features of research on the topic under consideration and highlighted the best evidence-based predictors of the regional environment in relation to smoking. We also identified poorly studied areas of research requiring further attention.

One Size Fits All? Disentangling the Effects of Tobacco Taxes, Laws, and Control Spending on Adult Subgroups in the United States

Abstract: State cigarette taxation is the single most important policy for reducing smoking among the general adult population. However, adult subgroups' reactions to taxes are diverse and mediated by tobacco control spending and SFA laws.
