“…This finding has important public health implications, given that tobacco availability and promotion at the POS is ubiquitous in many jurisdictions. Together with evidence that newly implemented POS display bans reduce youth smoking susceptibility and denormalise smoking,37 38 our results strongly indicate that legislation banning tobacco POS promotion will effectively reduce smoking among young people.

What this paper adds

Two systematic reviews have found consistent evidence of a positive association between exposure to point-of-scale (POS) tobacco promotion and increased risk of smoking, particularly in relation to smoking susceptibility among children and adolescents.

No meta-analysis has been conducted on these studies.

The odds of having tried smoking are around 1.6 times higher for children and young people frequently exposed to POS tobacco promotion, compared with those who are less frequently exposed.

Children and adolescents more frequently exposed to POS tobacco promotion have around 1.6 times higher odds of having tried smoking and around 1.3 times higher odds of being susceptible to future smoking, compared with those less frequently exposed. Together with the available evaluations of POS display bans, the results strongly indicate that legislation banning tobacco POS promotion will effectively reduce smoking among young people.

“…Moreover, while a partial tobacco advertising restriction operates in Korea, a comprehensive ban on tobacco advertising had been enforced in Australia. Also, a display ban of tobacco products had been implemented in Australia with limited exemptions (Dunlop et al, 2015;The Cancer Council, 2017). In contrast, tobacco displays and advertising in retail environments are still allowed in Korea (Cho, 2014).…”

The study aims to explore how Korean male smokers living in Australia talk and feel about smoking and how they have understood and experienced tobacco control policies in Australia-including price increase, display ban, plain packaging, and graphic warning labels. A qualitative study was conducted based on in-depth face-to-face interviews with 8 Korean male smokers aged 23-40 years living in Canberra. Participants discussed social and cultural conditions in Korea under which smoking is practiced and maintained. Smoking as a means of socialising and relaxation were consistently discussed as the main reasons for continued smoking which was deeply embedded in their everyday lives as habit or part of routines. The health risks of smoking were not among the immediate or ultimate considerations influencing participants. Participants commented that price increases had affected them most but other measures had little impact on their smoking behaviours, although they acknowledged their potentials in deterring younger people. Future anti-smoking interventions in Korea should address the significant social and cultural determinants of smoking and acknowledge smokers' own understanding of their smoking and anti-smoking measures. Appreciating smokers' diverse representations of their own smoking and their attitudes towards health and anti-smoking measures would increase acceptance of policies and the probability that they will be successful, leading to positive outcomes.

“…3 Several studies suggest that point of sale advertising affected smoking cessation and stimulated impulse purchasing among smokers. [17][18][19][20] The exposure to tobacco brands imagery stimulated physical craving and resurrected the emotional ties that they had with "their" brand among lapsed quitters and former smokers. 21 Cigarette pack displays may also function to undermine quitting intention among established smokers.…”

Z. Publicidad de productos de tabaco en el punto de venta: ¿quiénes están más expuestos en Brasil? Salud Publica Mex 2017;59 supl 1:S105-S116. http://dx.doi.org/10.21149/7831Resumen Objetivo. Describir a la población adulta en relación con la percepción de la publicidad de cigarrillos en los puntos de venta, según el estado de consumo de tabaco y características sociodemográficas como sexo, edad, raza/color, región, ubicación del hogar y escolaridad. Material y métodos. Se realizó un análisis multivariado con los datos de la Encuesta Global de Tabaquismo en Adultos de 2008 y la Encuesta Nacional de Salud de 2013. Resultados. Ambas encuestas mostraron que entre los no fumadores: las mujeres, los adultos jóvenes y los que tenían más de 10 años de escolaridad notaron con más frecuencia la publicidad de cigarrillos en puntos de venta. También se observó que estas proporciones aumentaron significativamente entre la población con menos años de escolaridad. Conclusión. Una política que prohíba completamente la publicidad de cigarrillos sería más efectiva para proteger a los grupos vulnerables del consumo de tabaco.Palabras clave: publicidad de productos derivados del tabaco; industria del tabaco; encuestas y cuestionarios; uso de tabaco Both surveys showed that among nonsmokers: women, young adults and those who had over 10 years of schooling had more frequently noticed advertising of cigarettes at point of sale. It was also observed that among the population with fewer years of schooling these proportions increased significantly. Conclusion. A measure that completely bans tobacco advertising would be more effective to protect the vulnerable groups from tobacco consumption.
