N C Med J. 2022 Jul-Aug;83(4):244-248. doi: 10.18043/ncm.83.4.244.

Abstract

Many states and localities in the United States are implementing evidence-based tobacco control policies at the retail level, including Tobacco 21 laws, tobacco retailer licensing, restrictions on point-of-sale promotions, and bans on flavored tobacco products. With the passage of new point-of-sale tobacco control policies, North Carolina could reduce youth tobacco use rates.
