ASPiRE’s Amanda Kong and Joseph Lee are co-authors of a study conducted in 2019-22 in which buyers aged 18-20 tried to buy cigarettes, cigars, e-cigarettes, nicotine pouches, and smokeless tobacco at retail stores in New Jersey, New York City and Pitt County, N.C. Buyers documented whether they were asked for identification and whether they were able to successfully purchase a tobacco product at each visit. The results will inform improvements to current compliance inspection programs and interventions that reduce underage people’s access to tobacco. See the results.
