Tobacco Displays Impact on Young Peoples' Likelihood of Becoming Smokers

Sharon (Community Relations Oncology Nurse)

According to a new investigation, funded by Cancer Research UK and published in Nicotine and Tobacco Research, younger individuals are more likely to take up smoking if they find tobacco displays in shops attractive and if they easily recall seeing the displays. Investigators based at the University of Stirling, UK, interviewed approximately 950 non-smoking young individuals aged between 11-16 years from across the UK. Susceptibility to smoking, recall and attraction to tobacco displays in shops were assessed.
