“…However, compliance was lower than has been found in other jurisdictions, including Victoria, Australia (94.1%),11 Ireland (97%),9 Norway (97%)10 and Ontario, Canada (99.8%) 8. Moreover, we found a substantial proportion of retailers did not comply with other aspects of tobacco retailing laws (excluding sales to minors, which this audit did not assess), with 73.4% failing to comply with at least one aspect of the legislation (table 3).…”

Retailer licensing and tobacco display compliance: are some retailers more likely to flout regulations?

et al. 2016

Some tobacco retailers did not list their business details with the government as required, even though there was no financial cost to do so. Unlisted retailers were more likely to violate in-store regulations. The results suggest licensing schemes can be useful for providing a list of retailers, thus facilitating enforcement, but require a system to search for, and respond to, unlisted/unlicensed retailers.

“…However, some of those studies have been limited by not including a weighted sample by retailer type,8 and/or by using only urban samples 10 11. There is some evidence that breaches of a display ban are less common than breaches of other retail laws,11 such as restrictions on price boards and requirements for warning signs.…”

“…Retailers were already accustomed to retrieval of packs from behind cupboard doors; an audit of tobacco retail outlets has shown that compliance with the requirements of the display ban law has been high in Australia10 as in other countries 11 12. The Australian plain packaging legislation requires that the brand name and variant be printed in a specific font style and the size large enough to be seen by retailers 13.…”

Product retrieval time in small tobacco retail outlets before and after the Australian plain packaging policy: real-world study

Retailers quickly gained experience with the new plain packaging legislation, evidenced by retrieval time having returned to the baseline range by the second week of implementation and remaining so several months later. The long retrieval times predicted by tobacco industry-funded retailer groups and the consequent costs they predicted would fall upon small retailers from plain packaging are unlikely to eventuate.

“…Case studies in Ireland and Canada show that youth and adult awareness of POS tobacco marketing dropped significantly after a ban on tobacco displays and ads. 17,18 Although these case studies suggest that banning POS tobacco displays and ads could help deter youth smoking, few studies have systematically examined the potential impact of these policies on smoking outcomes.…”

OBJECTIVE: To examine the potential impact of banning tobacco displays and ads at the point of sale (POS) on youth outcomes. METHODS: An interactive virtual convenience store was created with scenarios in which the tobacco product display at the POS was either openly visible (status quo) or enclosed behind a cabinet (display ban), and tobacco ads in the store were either present or absent. A national convenience sample of 1216 youth aged 13 to 17 who were either smokers or nonsmokers susceptible to smoking participated in the study. Youth were randomized to 1 of 6 virtual store conditions and given a shopping task to complete in the virtual store. During the shopping task, we tracked youth’s attempts to purchase tobacco products. Subsequently, youth completed a survey that assessed their perceptions about the virtual store and perceptions about the ease of buying cigarettes from the virtual store. RESULTS: Compared with youth in the status quo condition, youth in the display ban condition were less aware that tobacco products were for sale (32.0% vs 85.2%) and significantly less likely to try purchasing tobacco products in the virtual store (odds ratio = 0.30, 95% confidence interval = 0.13−0.67, P < .001). Banning ads had minimal impact on youth’s purchase attempts. CONCLUSIONS: Policies that ban tobacco product displays at the POS may help reduce youth smoking by deterring youth from purchasing tobacco products at retail stores.
