A paper published Nov. 26 in the Journal of Adolescent Health and co-authored by ASPiRE’s Lisa Henriksen finds that high-school students who lived in areas with a higher tobacco retailer density were more likely than peers without such exposure to start using non-cigarette tobacco products, such as e-cigarettes, cigarillos, and hookah within 1 year. The study concludes that policy efforts should aim to reduce the density of tobacco retailers and limit the proximity of tobacco retailers near adolescents’ homes, not just near schools.
