Tobacco sales through vending machines: Insights from owners and managers of Australian alcohol-licenced premises with different licencing schemes

CONCLUSION: The study provides the first evidence on the attitudes of owners/managers to the importance of tobacco sales, revealing that the vast majority of those owners/managers do not believe that tobacco sales are important for their venue.IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH: The presence of tobacco vending machines implicitly promotes tobacco products and therefore contravenes Australia's obligations under the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. The results provide powerful evidence that restrictions on tobacco sales can be implemented without major financial damage to those vendors.PMID:38453540 | DOI:10.1016/j.anzjph.2024.100126
