A paper suggesting that agent-based modeling may be an effective way to test the impact of retail-based tobacco. The paper concludes that context matters: limiting access to tobacco through retailer density reduction has varying results depending on community type. [...]
A paper describing the policy and sociodemographic environment of early adopters of local retail tobacco control policies. The paper found that localities with more resources were more likely to adopt such policies, while those with higher smoking rates and proportions of priority populations were less likely to do so. [...]

A study examining the effect of a buffer policy banning tobacco retailers from operating within 1000 feet of schools on disparities in tobacco retailer density. The authors found that such policies were most effective in low-income and racially diverse neighborhoods. [...]
A paper examining inequalities in tobacco outlet density at the census tract level across the U.S. by race, ethnicity, and income. The authors found that higher retailer density was associated with lower census tract income. [...]
A presentation describing agent-based modeling and its use in studying tobacco retail policy implementation and its effect on retail density and cost. [...]
A paper describing the development of the STARS tool and evaluating its early use among state tobacco control programs. The study reports on states’ use of the tool, finding that it can be used to inform policy change. [...]
A graphical timeline of events affecting tobacco retail policy from 2005 to 2016, including poilcy development, industry action, reports and evidence, and ASPiRE data collection. [...]
