“…Further findings of higher substance (e-cigarette, alcohol, marijuana) use among university students, who live off-campus, confirms the persistence of the ongoing problem in this subpopulation [48] . More analysis is needed to determine the proximity and density of these substances' vendors within the college town as these factors are likely to contribute to the issue [49] . This deeper analysis is necessary in order to re-evaluate the current local policies on point-of-sale marketing and distribution of these products.…”

Coronavirus disease 2019 , caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2), created a global pandemic that has changed many aspects of life.Because of respiratory implications, it is interesting to investigate the impact of the pandemic and its effects on the usage of tobacco products including vaping. The purpose of the study is to determine the prevalence of vaping among college students as well as their perceptions and knowledge of risks associated with tobacco use, primarily vaping. The investigators are interested in determining associations of vaping with demographics and use of alcohol and smoking, and "Intention to vape" products amid the pandemic. A cross-sectional survey of 353 students attending University of North Carolina in Wilmington was carried out. The study results showed about 43% and 67% reported ever using cigarettes and vaping products, respectively. Of the respondents, 25% reported current dual use (e-cigarettes and traditional cigarettes). About 55% of respondents maintained they would probably or definitely not use e-cigarettes either preor post-COVID-19. There was, however, a slight decline (3.7%) in those reporting they would definitely use e-cigarettes post-COVID-19 vs. pre-COVID-19. The high prevalence of vaping (39.5%) during the pandemic among university students in our study warrants increased efforts to address this problem on a national level.

“…A 2021 systematic review and meta-analysis of 37 international studies looking at the relationship of tobacco retailing density and proximity to smoking prevalence concluded: "Across studies, lower levels of tobacco retailer density and decreased proximity are associated with lower tobacco use" (Lee, Kong et al 2021).…”

Across this time I have met, often worked with and become close friends with many of the best minds in international tobacco control. Seventeen years of that time were spent being deputy editor (1992-97) and then editor (1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008) of Tobacco Control, the world's first research journal entirely dedicated to reducing tobacco use and the diseases it causes. During those years, it was a rare day when I was not reading and editing one or more of the thousands of papers that were submitted to the journal, even on Christmas Day. There are very few long-term researchers active across the many disciplinary and sub-topic fields of tobacco control whose most important work I've not read.Trying to list and thank everyone who has ever influenced my thinking about tobacco control is an almost boundless task. But the following people are those to whom across different times -including during the writing of this book -I owe a huge collective debt in many ways:

“…A meta-analysis of 11 studies from six countries (Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, Scotland, USA) about youth tobacco use found that greater retailer density near homes was associated with higher odds of past-month cigarette smoking (OR=1.08, 95% CI 1.04 to 1.13) 8. In addition, a meta-analysis of 27 studies from six Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries (Australia, Canada, Finland, New Zealand, UK, USA) about adult tobacco use indicated that reductions in tobacco retailer density and proximity were associated with an estimated 2.5% reduction (95% CI 1.95 to 3.02) in the relative risk of tobacco use 9. Importantly, many of the associations were evident even after controlling for various individual-level and area-level covariates 8 9…”

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.
