“…The tobacco industry has an established history of targeting products to specific consumer segments in the U.S., including youth and young adults, women, and systematically marginalized groups based on race, ethnicity, or sexual identity ( Ling and Glantz, 2002 , Stevens et al, 2004 , Toll and Ling, 2005 , Cruz et al, 2019 , Barbeau et al, 2005 ). Exposure to tobacco marketing is associated with increased tobacco consumption, including increased likelihood of initiation ( Cruz et al, 2019 , DiFranza et al, 2006 , Kreitzberg et al, 2019 , Qian et al, 2021 , Nicksic et al, 2017 ). Studies suggest that exposure to tobacco ads among youth is substantial ( Agaku et al, 2014 , Marynak et al, 2018 ), and there is growing evidence of comparatively higher exposure to commercial tobacco ads among individuals who identify as racial, ethnic, and sexual minorities (e.g., bisexual Latinas) versus those who identify as heterosexual and White ( Tan et al, 2021 ).…”
