How would the tobacco retail landscape change if tobacco was only sold through liquor stores, petrol stations or pharmacies?

CONCLUSIONS: The policy options examined in this study would considerably reduce the overall availability of tobacco, decrease cues to smoke and reduce the density of tobacco sales around schools. However, inequities in availability would exist with access to tobacco in rural areas disproportionately reduced, and a positive sociodemographic gradient remaining. Implications for public health: Substantially reducing tobacco availability has been identified as a crucial tobacco control strategy. This study provides information on the impact of different policy options to support Smokefree 2025. PMID: 31913549 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
