Tob Control. 2022 Mar;31(2):243-249. doi: 10.1136/tobaccocontrol-2021-056555.

Abstract

An increasing number of countries have set tobacco endgame goals that target dramatic reductions in smoking prevalence. To achieve those targets and promote health equity, policies are needed to reduce the retail supply and visibility of tobacco products. Focusing on retailer reduction strategies and tobacco display bans, this special communication reviews solution-oriented research about the retail environment. It highlights examples of policy implementation and identifies data needs and research gaps for designing and evaluating retail policies to promote population health equitably.

Keywords: advertising and promotion; disparities; end game; environment; public policy.
