Tobacconomics released a report assessing the effect of policies that restrict the sale of flavored tobacco products in retail businesses using data from tobacco stores, convenience stores, and gas station/convenience stores in the U.S. “Despite concerns that such policies harm tobacco retailers, the findings suggest that these restrictions have no negative effect on retail businesses,” the authors concluded. “There was not a significant effect on the number of these stores, the number of employees, or the real wages paid to the employees. This report affirms that tobacco retailers are able to adapt to changing market conditions and continue to sell tobacco and vaping products, in line with previous research.” Read the report.
