“…Third, the high density of tobacco retailers and the high proportion of convenience, route and impulse-type retailers support calls for policies to influence the built retail environment (the number, type and location of tobacco retailers) as well as the consumer retail environment (marketing, packaging and labelling) 27. The disproportionate use of retailers selling alcohol, convenience stores, petrol stations and newsagents by light smokers and attempting quitters28 29 suggests that policies designed to reduce impulse purchases might be best targeted to these retailer types.…”

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.

Who stops selling? A systematic analysis of ex-tobacco retailers

et al. 2016

Objective There is evidence that wide distribution of cigarettes contributes to smoking, and multiple commentators have called for a review of tobacco retailing. This study analyses retailers who stop selling cigarettes, why they do so, and discusses the implications for tobacco control. Method An audit of tobacco retailers in the Australian state of NSW was used to identify retailers who had stopped selling tobacco, and they were then compared with current retailers to determine how many, and what types of outlets stop selling tobacco. Attempts were made to contact and interview all former tobacco retailers identified in three audited regions. In-depth interviews were conducted with 13 ex-tobacco retailers, or 31% of the subset of ex-tobacco retailers.

“…A continuation of past trends in smoking uptake and cessation (BAU) served as the comparator. The endgame strategies were ongoing annual tobacco tax increases (an established part of tobacco control in New Zealand since 2010), the tobacco-free generation (TFG) strategy6 (a ban on the provision of tobacco to those born from a set year onwards), a sinking lid on tobacco supply (involving regular reductions in the amount of tobacco supplied to the commercial market until supply ends),7 and a substantial reduction in the number of tobacco retail outlets given the observed association between increased tobacco retail outlet proximity and density with reduced cessation, and increased smoking uptake and relapse 8…”
