“…Convenience stores typically display about a dozen tobacco posters,25 with a greater number appearing inside (ie, on the tobacco power wall) than outside. Most posters are less than 8.5×11 inches and 2×3 feet in size 26. The RSL tobacco posters are consistent with these conventions.…”

Objectives This experiment tested whether changing the location or visibility of the tobacco power wall in a life sized replica of a convenience store had any effect on adolescents’ susceptibility to future cigarette smoking. Methods The study was conducted in the RAND StoreLab (RSL), a life sized replica of a convenience store that was developed to experimentally evaluate how changing aspects of tobacco advertising displays in retail point-of-sale environments influences tobacco use risk and behavior. A randomized, between-subjects experimental design with three conditions that varied the location or visibility of the tobacco power wall within the RSL was used. The conditions were: cashier (the tobacco power wall was located in its typical position behind the cash register counter); sidewall (the tobacco power wall was located on a sidewall away from the cash register); or hidden (the tobacco power wall was located behind the cashier but was hidden behind an opaque wall). The sample included 241 adolescents. Results Hiding the tobacco power wall significantly reduced adolescents’ susceptibility to future cigarette smoking compared to leaving it exposed (i.e., the cashier condition; p = .02). Locating the tobacco power wall on a sidewall away from the cashier had no effect on future cigarette smoking susceptibility compared to the cashier condition (p = 0.80). Conclusions Hiding the tobacco power wall at retail point-of-sale locations is a strong regulatory option for reducing the impact of the retail environment on cigarette smoking risk in adolescents.

“…Within this context, it is important to acknowledge that the tobacco industry targets marketing of menthol tobacco products towards African American communities, including the availability of cheaper menthol cigarettes. 41,42 While more local sales restrictions are beginning to occur (eg, Tobacco 21 efforts), additional policies restricting price discounting as well as the regulation of access to and the time, place, and/or manner of menthol tobacco advertising could also improve cessation rates. Nevertheless, further evaluation is needed to determine the viability of these policies.…”

Introduction: Few studies have examined the relationship between menthol use and smoking cessation across various racial/ethnic groups; the findings were mixed. This study explored the association of menthol cigarette use with quit attempts, smoking cessation, and intention-to-quit among US adults and by race/ethnicity. Methods: Using the 2006Using the /2007Using the and 2010Using the /2011 Tobacco Use Supplements to the Current Population Survey data, this study analyzed 54 448 recent active smokers, defined as current smokers or former smokers who quit less than 12 months ago. Three behaviors were examined: any quit attempts in the past 12 months, successful cessation for ≥3 months, and intention-to-quit smoking in the next 6 months. For each cessation behavior, multiple logistic regression models were estimated separately for the full-sample and stratified racial/ethnic subsamples. Results: While 72.3% of African American recent active smokers typically smoked menthol cigarettes, this proportion was 21.7%, 21.5%, and 28.0% for whites, Asians, and Hispanics, respectively. African American menthol smokers had higher odds of quit attempts compared to non-African American, non-menthol smokers (full-sample analysis), as well as African American non-menthol smokers (subsample analysis). Menthol use was not significantly associated with quit attempts in other racial/ethnic subsamples. There was no significant difference in either successful cessation or intention-to-quit between menthol and non-menthol smokers. Conclusions: African American menthol smokers were more likely to attempt to quit smoking than non-menthol smokers but these quit attempts did not translate into successful cessation. This study revealed no association of menthol use with quit attempts, successful cessation, and intention-to-quit among other racial/ethnic groups. Implications: The findings suggested that African American menthol smokers were more motivated to quit smoking; yet, the results also indicated no significant differences in successful cessation between African American menthol and non-menthol smokers. Interventions targeting menthol smokers within the African American community may help bridge this gap. While more

“…Research also suggests that smoking cessation treatments may be less effective among individuals with lower SES ( Bauld, Judge, & Platt, 2007 ). These effects are likely accentuated by a higher exposure to advertising of tobacco products in neighborhoods with disadvantaged economic indicators ( Seidenberg, Caughey, Rees, & Connolly, 2010 ).…”

“…The socioeconomic environment where the school is located may infl uence the smoking behaviors of students through several mechanisms, including exposure to tobacco advertising ( Barreto et al, 2011 ;Seidenberg et al, 2010 ), availability of tobacco products, and the development of social norms that facilitate or detract from youth smoking ( Lovato et al, 2010 ). However, we could not fi nd studies in developing countries that address the impact of socioeconomic context of the school among youth.…”

Introduction:The relationship between poverty and tobacco consumption among adolescents has not been extensively studied, and what evidence exists has come almost entirely from developed countries. Moreover, the impact of contextual factors -such as school-level poverty -remains unclear. Methods:We obtained information about smoking behavior from the Global Youth Tobacco Survey in Argentina in 2007. School-level characteristics were derived by matching schools to census areas from the 2001 Census. Additional school-level information was obtained from the Ministry of Education. Random intercept models were used to evaluate the associations of school-level variables (poverty in the census area of the school, school receipt of social assistance, and public or private status) with current smoking, intention to quit, secondhand smoke exposure outside the home, support for smoke-free laws, purchase of single cigarettes among smokers, and susceptibility to smoking in 5 years among nonsmokers. Results:After controlling for age and sex, students attending schools receiving social assistance were more likely to smoke (odds ratio [ OR ] 1.35, 95% CI 1.02 -1.80) and to purchase loose cigarettes ( OR 1.66, 95% CI 1.08 -2.54), whereas school poverty was signifi cantly associated with secondhand smoke exposure ( OR 1.27, 95% CI 1.04 -1.58). Conclusion:This study shows that an association exists between unfavorable contextual school characteristics and tobacco consumption and related measures among youth in Argentina. Efforts to prevent smoking may need to address the school-level factors that place youth at higher risk.
