Good morning, all –

I wanted to share this resource round-up from Counter Tobacco, an organization with excellent resources on public health interventions in the retail environment. Please scroll down for a new review on rural tobacco retail interventions – and a shout-out to the Oregon tobacco retail assessments in Stories From the Field! It’s great to see all your hard work visiting 2,000 Oregon tobacco retailers recognized in this national newsletter.

All the best,
Sarah

p.s. For those of you who like digestible tobacco prevention newsletters, I highly recommend signing up for this one here: https://countertobacco.org/news/newsletter-signup/ There’s some great stuff on flavored tobacco and cigarillo packaging in this issue as well…

Evidence Summary: Rural Tobacco Use & the Point of Sale

While smoking rates nationally declined to 14% in 2017, significant disparities in smoking and tobacco use between groups still exist. Data from the 2007-2014 National Survey on Drug Use and Health shows that adults who live in rural areas are more likely to smoke cigarettes (24.1% vs 21%, respectively) and use smokeless tobacco (5.6% vs 2.3%, respectively) than adults living in urban areas.[1<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__countertobacco.us5.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3Dcc179e7620d44b6a9d0ffcbf5-26id-3D94c88a0ef5-26e-3D3fd22f8912&d=DwMFaQ&c=7gilq_oJKU2hnacFUWFTuYqjMQ111TRstgx6WoATdXo&r=aRHD2Fsr73m-Hp16heDlLCC8xpUQeMNkUS3T5pGYgFo&m=q3yTafIqnrDZDxSDpkNKdvZI8c-vbKJYpEpXiEOnvMM&s=fE-LvB30nibIEtWX_Ry_-n9eG2hBpNq9EWtgO70YhEQ&e=>] Differentiating between the tobacco usage trends in rural and urban populations can help provide a framework for understanding policy efficaciousness and why certain patterns exist.

This rural-urban gap is characterized by factors including level of education, income, race, occupations, policy coverage gaps, as well as cultural and familial social norms.

Current best and promising practices in tobacco control policy may not affect all populations with the same intensity or efficacy, and may need modifications to account for the impacts of rural residency on tobacco use prevalence. While more research is needed to further understand this divide and the best ways to address it, existing research points to some ideas both for particular policy strategies and ways of designing and implementing programs and policies that may better address tobacco use in rural areas. In the evidence summary, find key recommendations for future policy efforts in rural areas.

Visual messages are often a good way of increasing education and awareness especially among younger populations. This new campaign, announced as of July 22nd, will work towards establishing a further understanding of the health consequences of e-cigarette use especially among youth.

Retail store assessments are one of the most effective ways of documenting and tracking the marketing and selling of tobacco products in the retail environment (or point-of-sale). In 2018, the state of Oregon conducted a statewide assessment of nearly 2,000 tobacco retailers (across each county) involving county health department staff, local tribes, and community members/partners.

Findings from this assessment campaign are explained in a statewide report<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__countertobacco.us5.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3Dcc179e7620d44b6a9d0ffcbf5-26id-3D1957b7ed59-26e-3D3fd22f8912&d=DwMFaQ&c=7gilq_oJKU2hnacFUWFTuYqjMQ111TRstgx6WoATdXo&r=aRHD2Fsr73m-Hp16heDlLCC8xpUQeMNkUS3T5pGYgFo&m=q3yTafIqnrDZDxSDpkNKdvZI8c-vbKJYpEpXiEOnvMM&s=WoV607nHXkENNiN5-BUmAxjgZtJ6Zhr4YCtLagbfhM4&e=> released this month showing the prevalence of advertisements and how tobacco products are sold across the state of Oregon. Key findings from this report include:

  *   9 out of 10 retailers sold flavored e-cigarettes and cigarillos
  *   When accounting for menthol specifically, 96% of retailers carried menthol products
  *   64% of retailers used/accepted discounting such as coupons
  *   Outdoor tobacco advertisements were present on nearly 50% of stores
  *   20% of retailers placed tobacco products next to youth-oriented products like candy and toys inside
It is important to understand the tobacco retail environment in order to have a stronger basis for enacting change. Store assessments (also referred to as store audits or observations) allow you to collect data about what is happening at the stores in your community and use this information to educate the public, policymakers, and youth about the deceptive marketing tactics that are used by the tobacco industry. Oregon's efforts present a good example of collaboration and a commitment to paving the way for future policy and community-centered change.

On July 12, a federal judge ruled to set a new 10-month deadline for FDA premarket review applications for e-cigarettes. This moves the deadline from August 2022 to May 2020. After that point, the FDA has a year to review the applications, during which time the products can stay on the market unless the FDA says otherwise. This is also a change from the previous timeline, which set no deadline for the end of the review process and allowed the products to stay on the market indefinitely.

Massachusetts Proposed Statewide Flavor Ban

Pricing data collected from retailers across the state show that from 2014 to 2018, the average price of single cigars rose from $1.35 to $1.64. In communities without this pricing policy in place, prices were lower but also rose over time (from $1.17 in 2014 to $1.21 in 2018 compared to from $2.24 to $2.41 in places with the policy). During that same time period, the availability of single cigars decreased across the state from being sold in 49% of tobacco retailers to only 21%, and in communities with the pricing policy in place, availability decreased from 28% to 14%. In addition, Massachusetts Youth Risk Behavior Survey data indicated that use of cigars among high schoolers across the state decreased from 14.3% in 2011 to 6.7% in 2017.

  *   Observational store audits conducted in Los Angeles between January 2016 and April 2017 showed that tobacco retailers located in zipcodes with a high percentage of residents who are non-Hispanic Black were 8 times as likely to sell little cigars and cigarillos, 5 times as likely to sell flavored little cigars and cigarillos, and over 6 times as likely to have exterior advertisements for little cigars and cigarillos compared to tobacco retailers located in zipcodes with a high percentage of non-Hispanic White residents. Tobacco retailers located in zipcodes with a high percentage of Hispanic residents were 3 times as likely to sell little cigars and cigarillos compared to retailers in predominantly non-Hispanic White zipcodes.

Additionally, for every 10% increase in the proportion of black residents, the proportion of retailers selling menthol cigarettes at a price at least 25 cents below the established minimum price rose by 19%. Researchers suggest that strengthening point-of-sale pricing laws may help reduce these disparities.
