“…However, removal of PoS displays as a tobacco control policy might play an important role in reducing smoking uptake and prevalence among young people in the long term by reducing the numbers who become susceptible to smoking. Removal of PoS displays of tobacco products is widely supported by the general public 31, 32, primarily as a means to protect children from exposure to promotion of a lethal product 33. As PoS exposure also undermines the success of smoking cessation attempts 34, there is strong justification for the removal of these displays to support smokers who are trying to quit.…”

“…As PoS exposure also undermines the success of smoking cessation attempts 34, there is strong justification for the removal of these displays to support smokers who are trying to quit. Removal of PoS displays in Ireland led to a decrease in the proportion of adult smokers and children noticing displays, and children also thought that removal of PoS displays made it easier for children not to smoke and helped to de‐normalize smoking 32. Also, while retailers are understandably concerned that implementation of PoS display bans will reduce their income from sales of tobacco products, the effect of removal of displays on smoking prevalence, at least in the short term, is likely to be modest and have a negligible effect on sales to regular smokers 35.…”

AimsTo investigate the association between frequency of visiting shops and noticing of tobacco point‐of‐sale (PoS) displays and the development of susceptibility to smoking, or smoking uptake, in secondary school students.DesignTwo surveys of a school based cohort study carried out in 2011 and 2012.SettingsNottinghamshire, UK.ParticipantsA total of 2270 children aged 11–16 years from eight schools in Nottinghamshire.MeasurementsWe investigated changes in susceptibility to smoking and smoking status in relation to frequency of visiting shops and noticing PoS displays and number of tobacco brands recognized, controlling for a range of potential confounders. Susceptibility to smoking was defined using a set of three questions covering intentions to try smoking, to smoke within the next year and likelihood of smoking if a best friend offered a cigarette. For the analysis we used multinomial logistic regression.FindingsAmong non‐susceptible never smokers, noticing PoS displays more frequently was associated independently with an increased risk of becoming susceptible to smoking [adjusted relative risk ratio (RRR) = 1.74; 99% confidence interval (CI) = 1.13–2.69], but was not associated with smoking uptake. Recognizing a higher number of brands among non‐susceptible never smokers doubled the risk of becoming susceptible to smoking and of becoming a smoker, but this did not have a significant effect on transition to smoking among susceptible never smokers. Frequency of noticing tobacco PoS displays was not associated significantly with smoking uptake among those who were susceptible never smokers at baseline.ConclusionsNoticing tobacco point‐of‐sale displays more often and recognizing a higher number of tobacco brands is associated with an increased risk of becoming susceptible to smoking among adolescents in the United Kingdom, and recognizing a higher number of brands is associated positively with an increased risk of smoking uptake.

“…23,[28][29][30] Evaluations of these restrictions provide evidence for the potential benefits of keeping PoS displays out of sight. For example, following a ban on PoS display in Ireland in 2009, the number of youths overestimating how many of their peers smoke regularly declined by nearly 30 %.…”

“…21 Following previous studies, a dichotomous variable representing overestimation of smoking among peers was created using a median split (1 = overestimated; 0 = not overestimated). 22,23 Setting the threshold at 20 % is conservative and allows for variation between schools and within schools between grades. Subjective norms were assessed by asking students to rate whether their friends approve of smoking on a five-point scale ranging from strongly approve to strongly disapprove.…”

Exposure to Tobacco Retail Outlets and Smoking Initiation among New York City Adolescents

et al. 2013

This study was designed to estimate the relationship between exposure to tobacco retail outlets and smoking initiation in a racially diverse urban setting. Using data from the 2011 NYC Youth Risk Behavior Survey, multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to estimate the exposure-initiation relationship and test for effect modification, while controlling for covariates. The predicted probability of smoking initiation from the multivariable model increased from 7.7 % for zero times a week exposed to tobacco retailers to 16.0 % for exposure seven times or more per week. The odds of initiation were significantly higher among adolescents exposed to tobacco retail outlets two times or more a week compared with those exposed less often (AOR=1.41; 95 % CI: 1.08, 1.84). Risk-taking behavior modified the relationship between exposure and initiation, with the odds of initiation highest among those low in risk-taking (AOR=1.78; 95 % CI: 1.14, 1.56). These results are consistent with past research, showing that frequent exposure to tobacco marketing in retail settings is associated with increased odds of initiation. Reducing exposure to tobacco retail marketing could play an important role in curtailing smoking among adolescents, especially those less prone to risk-taking.

“…Estudios en otros países han demostrado que la prohibición de publicidad en los PV cuenta con el apoyo de los fumadores 20,33 y además no se asocia con una pérdida en las ventas. 34 En Argentina, un estudio basado en datos de la Encuesta Mundial de Tabaquismo en Adultos de 2012 muestra que, con excepción de la población más joven y de aquélla de bajo y mediano nivel socioeconómico, existe un amplio apoyo de la población adulta frente a las restricciones totales de la publicidad. 35 Este antecedente es importante, ya que permitirá avanzar en la implementación de restricciones más severas de la publicidad en los PV.…”

Objetivo. Describir las características de la población que refiere haber acudido a los puntos de venta (PV) de tabaco en relación con la percepción de la publicidad en Argentina. Material y métodos. Se analizaron datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Factores de Riesgo de 2013. Resultados. Se incluyeron 31 167 encuestados que acudieron a comercios donde venden cigarrillos en los últimos 30 días. De éstos, 54.1% dijo haber visto publicidad de cigarrillos. Los varones (RM=1.2) y los fumadores actuales (RM=1.9 vs. no fumador) tuvieron más posibilidad de percibirla. Aquéllos que refirieron estar expuestos al humo de tabaco en bares y restaurantes (RM= 1.2) tuvieron más posibilidad de ver publicidad de tabaco en los puntos de venta. Hubo un gradiente en relación con la edad: los jóvenes de 18 a 24 fueron más susceptibles a referir exposición (RM=2.8 vs >65 años). Entre los fumadores, aquéllos que percibieron publicidad refirieron con mayor frecuencia haber intentado dejar de fumar en el último año. Conclusiones. Es importante que la regulación de la publicidad en los PV sea más estricta para limitar la exposición a la publicidad, particularmente en los jóvenes.
